Based on the original subject of this post, a few Pontiacs come to mind, all completely stock (no resto-mods for me, and no Strauss Stores customs, thank you):

'69 T/A
'67 Firebird 400 convert
'67 Fitchbird (not likely to be found, let alone for the $$ mentioned in the opening post)
'64 GTO tri-power convert
'57 Bonneville (doubtful for the $$ mentioned in the opening post, but I can dream)
'48 Silver Streak convert

There are probably a few more in between. I specifically omitted the '56 Safari because, well, I just recently purchased two, which was one more than I really wanted, but they came as a pair of projects, so... I also left out an '82 Firebird (see signature, though she's looking pretty sad these days...some day I get her back in shape) and a '63 GP (also in my backyard, and also looking very sad).

Note also that I am not considering appreciation on the investment, but only what I might look to buy if I, say, came into some extra money and the misses and the kids didn't lay claim to any of it first.
