VW Type 3

Subaru. Wrx or legacy gt. Just my opinion but they've been extremely reliable for me and still decent mpg. My STi got 24-28mpg unless I was being a dick

I've seen e39 mt for as low $13000. Honestly I'd get a wrangler TJ and swap a 5.3.

up here in the bay area. i have seen 2 on CL in the $10k range.

Buy an E30 for $500, dump $9500 into it.

e30 Touring with a m20 stroker supercharged and rebuilt every nut and bolt to new except for Coils but not dropped.

And you plan on getting that for 10k? The only car I've seen fully restored the way you described has 15-20k into it and thousands of hours of work, and it's not a touring in the states which will probably be nearly 10k for a clean stock car.

Something French or Italian, but only as a third car.

Or buy something off of BaT, always something interesting to mention at C&C. I managed to swoop in an grab my E28 Hartge for under 10k.

[Hooffenstein HD]

Immaculate early model 2 door E30(proper bumpers, not rubbish diving boards). Burgundrot. Aluminium M52B28 + coilovers and other typical suspension/chassis, and driveline mods.

Non E30. 2GR-FE swapped SW20, or KL-ZE swapped NA MX5/Miata.
