Sports Cars & Replicas
Australia had a history of building cheap, spectacularly unsuccessful sports cars until Bill Buckle’s Goggo Dart changed the game. About 700 were made, maybe a tenth of those remain and top money today exceeds $30,000.
Bolwells during the 1960s were Holden-based, a lot faster and better-built than a Goggo yet the six-cylinder cars today cost around the same as a Dart.
Eureka and Bufori products were initially VW-based and expanded their appeal by adopting V6 engines or even rotaries. Pay $20-30,000 for either brand.

Replica Cobras have been with us since the 1990s and remain relatively cheap, with quality and equipment more significant when valuing a car than age or manufacturer.
Anyone with $120-150K to invest might prefer a GT40 replica which will turn heads at the next all-Ford Day and likely grow in value faster than a replica Cobra.
