Assuming you buy something rust free the biggest problem is parts supply, American muscle cars and old Mercedes are well supported so a sensible choice.

I ran one of these (but the W108 short wheel-base version) for a while as a second car, used it for going to work on the weekends. V8 was pretty reliable once I'd sorted a few issues, it had PAS, disc brakes all-round, electric windows and sunroof, handled ok for something the size of a small house and kept up ok with London traffic. It got about 16-18mpg, and best of all turned a lot of attractive women's heads... Running one of these you need to be handy with a spanner or know a good specialist and have deep pockets.

Quite a cheap P5B Coupe with just an hour left to bid on it.
