After a bit of advice really.
I posted a couple of years ago in this forum and ended up buying everything but an old Yank.
I now have a TVR Chimaera so I'm not wanting for speed or noise. I also have an immaculate little golf diesel for popping to the shops and general running about.
However, I still have a massive soft spot for fins and chrome, or the later muscle cars.
I'm just wondering how good a motor you can get for about £5000?
I'm not into anything later than the 80's, corvettes don't really do it for me... I'd love a mustang fastback but haven't won the euromillions
So what sort of stuff should I be looking at, and is importing a car from the US a good idea?

Unfortunately, the 60s and 70s cars, of the cheaper variety, get eaten by rust, especially in this climate. Even the 80s cars suffer. For decent fins and chrome as opposed to plastic, I think £5000 might be the starting point and all the good stuff has risen in price in recent years.
