What would you buy?

What would you buy if you wanted to get into the collector car hobby but only had $25-26,000 to spend? Don't have the resources to purchase a project car and restore it so a "fixer-upper" is out of the question.
I'm not really looking for the "buy what you like" replies; consider this a poll and not a question for a specific person. Look at it as if you had 25-26,000 to spend and needed it to be driver quality at least.

1970 Z28
1969 SS350

Can you get a decent 1970 Z28 for that kind of money? I thought they were going for $30-40,000 now?

YOU CAN BUY SOME 66-67 CHEVELLE SS CARS IN THE $25-30K RANGE. 69 SS350 CAMARO WOULD BE NICE IF YOU CAN FIND ONE. 70-73 Z/28'S ARE STILL OUT THERE AS WELL... GOOD LUCK.. KP

How about some early 70's SS camaros. Novas from 68 to 72 are a nice car also. Maybe a 74 Z/28. How about some big cars like 65-69 Impalas or Belairs with 4 speeds? Chevelles are always a favorite. I am sure you can find some nice GTO's for that money also. Go to the A.C. show this month.

GTOs are going through the roof just like the chevys.Birds can still be a good buy for the time being.A friend just bought a 68 400HO car,factory air with fresh paint for 15K.Ram Air cars,Judges and any converts are like wise going crazy.FYI,Tom

Look at AMC. The AMX 390, 4 speeds are still affordable, and somewhat offbeat.

1969 1970 Nova SS 396 4spd. No replacement for displacement. If you have just one old car. Make it a big block chevy. Earl

You should be able to land a decent big block El camino, or 55-57 Chevrolet Hard top...
