Okay just a topic for general debate what cars do you feel are collectible under a $5000 price tag here are the criteria they must meet:

1) Must be general Production models (NOT KIT CARS)

2) Must be 1980 or newer

3) Can be a truck or SUV

4) Don't have to be concurs type cars by any means rather something you'd buy to simply enjoy owning and not necessarily as investment but rather something you could see yourself owning for a few years and it doesn't have to be a daily driver so totally impractical cars are welcome!

Pretty darn good list...
Some that come to mid for me are
XJS
Miata (MX-5)
Possibly some base Subaru WRX are right around the price threshold
Late 80-mid 90's Camaro's and Firebird's
Mercur XR4ti
Audi Quattro Coupe
Possibly some late 90's XJR's are right around the price
Saab 93 Convertible
jeez I gotta think of a few more
