Last August I bought a restored 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible for about $5,000.00.. I currently have about $5,500.00 into it including my tri-power unit and mag wheels. A car with comparable performance is in the $15K-$20K. While my "rocket powered brick" sucks up gas, I can drive about 120,000 miles on $10K worth of gas ($1.00 per gallon). Looking under the hood, the car is very serviceable. I also have the pleasure of driving a classic car, that is appreciating in value (not to mention the heads turned at my pride and joy).
