A Kirkham on the high end or an ERA or Superformance in the mid range and Factory Five on the entry level will give you a lot of analog bang for the buck. 289 FIA Cobra or GT-40 are both fairly light and cheap to make power with these days. My wife will even drive the 427 replica on nice days, though she did not like the 2.73 rear end in it. It would travel at 18mph in 1st when idling with the slightly high strung motor.
An older Lotus would be a blast but I fear it would fold up like a taco with the roads around here. I have always liked the designs of Ferrari from the F40 and earlier. Not so much these days. The 365 Spyder would be my favorite. Then the old TR from '57.
Were I to buy a factory car a Pantera would be at or near the top. A Noble or Rossion would be a fun car also.
