Some 80's nostalgia
ChadTower:
I wouldn't mind a Mustang convertible from the early side of the 5.0 run in the late 80s.

I just recently traded in my 2K3 Convertible GT for a SUV (thanks to our new addition this year). It was the most fun to drive car I have ever owned. Beating out even the 69 Olds 442 that I had thru high school, and the 91' Ford Probe GT that was the first car I bought new instead of used. Just about every passenger I had in the car did have complaints about lack of comfort, but I figured screw em. If I could have gotten a baby seat in the thing with my two large teenage sons I would have kept it. C'est la vie. I plan on going the sports car route again once I'm past child seats.

One of my math teachers had an olds like that - with the circular rear lights. A little odd compared to a chevelle; sort of in the vein of the difference between a 50s step-side Chevy and a Studabaker. I'd take the latter.
Sports cars, or luxury sports, etc - can be fun. My brother has a Lincoln LS. Some years ago, I visited and we went to Six Flags Magic Mountain. I've been there a few times. The ride home in my brother's car was actually more thrilling. Of course, who's driving makes a difference. He also has an all original '70 454 convertible Chevelle he drives around when he visits home. It'll jump and stuff, and you can hear it from a ways off, but I prefer the Lincoln. (Along with all the luxury it has, and the pep, it's a 4-door. Coupes are a pain in the ass.)
My girlfriend said she'd buy me anything under $40k. I thought an LS like my brother's, or perhaps the later model of it, would be nice. My brother said instead of spending all that cash, he'd sell me his for five grand. My girlfriend likes to avoid possible repairs on older cars, though.

I would never own one of those for the simple fact that sourcing parts would have the odds of slim and none.
PS. fix your link!

Parts aren't bad at all. Deloreans, parts for engine and tranny are available at a Volvo and Puegot dealer. The rest you can get from the place in Houston. 308's are a bit harder but not too bad via the internet. A couple parts on the ferarris are hard to find but those are the ones you make sure are in good shape when you purchase the car.

Ya, I saw that one when it was listed. It has been listed a few times. I wouldn't buy from a dealer only a collector. I also don't want black.
