ALL cars if you look pass the cosmetic and is willing to put some TLC into it. I like cars with bad windows, bad A/C, bad electrics, dents, missing trims, bad paint, crushed fenders, doors etc. As long as the drive train is good and body is straight then I am interested. Most panels can be obtained from a JY and with the same color code if you are lucky. I try to split my w/e on golf and fixing old MBZ. You can make a DD driver out of a sub $2K car easy, it may not win a beauty contest but it will take you from A to B reliably.

I'm currently looking for another antique daily driver late '60s - early '70s Honda two-cylinder motorcycle. I'll pay somewhere under $750.00 for it, but would prefer to spend no more than $500.00 for it, tops.

My last daily driver collector's Honda vintage MC cost me $2,450.00 - sold it a year later for $2,980.00. Which is the icing on the cake - riding it a year or more and making money on the deal.
