Non-Typical Classic Car You Would Like to Own

I thought it would be fun to start a thread listing some classic cars that would be fun to own that wouldn't be found on your typical or more common lists. I'll start off with a 1990 Mercedes Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II.

The 190 dominated touring car races until BMW introduced the E30 M3. After that they basically got their butts kicked but nonetheless they were an important part of motorsport history. The engines were built by Cosworth and have an amazing sound.



In full race trim.

I don't think these are classic cars by any means, but more nostalgic for me. I would love to have the space to store a Gen 3 Iroc Z camaro and a '92-94 thunderbird supercoupe. I would also need to have a mullet whig specific to each car.

Not everyone here is a hipster "car aficionado" who only likes foreign rally-inspired cars.

This very non-hipster "car aficionado" who really likes foreign rally-inspired cars owned two Turd-Gen Z28s and speaks from thousands of miles of experience.
