Answer 1

Coolest and most collectible?

1965 Toyota 2000GT. Good luck finding one.

2nd choice. Ferrari GTO. These can be had. At a relatively recent auction, one was bid up to $7,000,000. The owner pulled it back, too low a price for him. Ferrari made 39 of them. It's in second place because, even though they made 337 of them, the Toyota is cooler because it's not so famous.

Did you mean to include available and/or affordable?

Answer 2

I would say Austin Mini Cooper or the clubman 1275GT. It is turning into such a collectors item these days that a base price for one has increased tremendously over these past 5 years. Spare parts are still relatively easy to find, It looks cool, it handles amazingly and has lots of power if you choose a twin webber carby. Best part is, you can still use it as an everyday car that will turn heads.

Answer 3

Ferrari Testarosa

Answer 4

A HK Monaro - Recently went to auction in Australia and sold for..............$ 180-000 and a Ford Falcon 2 door as seen in the mad max movies sold for .....$250-000. When new the Monaro was only about $8000- in 1968 or there abouts !

XKE 12 cylinder convertable is up there also the ferrarii DAYTONA or 250 GTO but those last 2 are $250,000.00US each -you can always put together a 406ci HOLDEN (like MAD MAX) and dare to be different
