May as well buy a restored Mopar.....

My theory is Buy the best car you can afford. If you are not into the hobby at least you have a good start on a nice driver. If you are into the hobby and do your own work you can make that good car into your classic your way. For me personally it is all about doing the work-my hi cost therapy. I can do and enjoy doing all aspects of building my cars the way I want. My Barracuda is a good example of how I like my cars. Hell----It's why I have one on a rotisserie and in primer at 75 years old. I enjoy doing the work. More in this subject "when the legend retires"
