I think about this every day. not new cars really (cause they are easy to get, walk in dealer, sign the paper, drive away) but some older stuff
e.g.
some cars I want to get in the next couple years are :
-01-04 z06 or FRC to build
-79-84 (preferably 79-81) Caddy coupe deville
there is def alot more but I think these 2 would be my first choice

Old S10 or Jeep commanche.
No logical reason other than I want a frame rail vehicle to mod. That and hood stack-ability

FRC was first thing that came to mind. Single cab short bed full sized pick ups too. Evos.

Small, lightweight rwd jap car with a turbo V8 to scare me. Like a s2000 or even miata with a wild swap.
I have a fondness for old supercharged 03-06 AMGs that depreciated like crazy.
OG Viper GTS
Evo 9 with tasteful mods. Drove one a while back and it was fun.

Realistically, a clean 03-05 Cadillac CTS-V or a 2007 Volvo V70 R for commuting.

Almost had an 05 e55 Amg . But it constantly breaking loose even at 60+ and the problem is since it’s an auto u have no control over how it’s gonna come loose and if u keep traction on it cuts the power so ur merging and he car is like break checking itself lol

I think since they keep making trucks bigger and bigger, that s10's will become more valuable.
Personally I'd love any older Cadillac. I want to resto mod one of those big boats and just go cruising

I want a 1992 Fleetwood Brougham - one of those big 4 door boats that can fit a dozen bodies in the trunk. Plan to pimp it out - big audio system, worked LS3 with nitrous... Going to be hilarious to drive around something so big that hauls ass. I was even contemplating putting chandeliers on the hood like in "Escape from New York".

Oh yeah, I want an Aussie Ford Falcon like Mad Max, and
a Maserati Bi-Turbo with an LSx swap.

Should have reiterated, I meant stuff that isn’t coveted already. Obviously ford Gts, cobras, zr1s are desireable and worth money now. But as far as something 90s that’s currently not worth a lot going up significantly for the future, I just don’t see it.

Hagerty says 4th gens are on the rise. Craigslist shows the market is thin if you are hunting desirable or clean low mile examples.

the only real car that I have a deep seated desire to have possession of anytime soon is my deceased uncles 1975 Pro Street Camaro named "Mega Bucks".
https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2937/32547301533_e85f0712cb_z.jpg
I know where the car wound up after he sold it and have talked with the owner in person as well. I do not have the $ to buy it at all since most of my "fun $" and "car $' is wrapped up in my IROC and various house projects. The owner has not changed a thing on the car since he bought it from my uncle back in the early 1990's. it went to a variety of car shows back then and won all sorts of awards. Apparently after that it has just been locked away in a car trailer since the late 1990's. I don't want to push him in any direction, so I am just letting the situation lay dormant for a bit. He knows that if he ever has an urge to sell it, that I should be his first call... I will find the $ then somehow... and my wife is on-board also. Of course, I do want to discuss actually having a look at the car one day in person to see what 20 years of sitting in a trailer has done, but I don't want to be too pushy about it.
if you have time, and feel like reading.. here is a link to the whole story.

I think it is a great read.... and it certainly has a "to be determined future" ahead.
