Not sure if a RX-7 or even the later RX-8 would be good out here - servicing the rotary wankel unit would be difficult and dont think you'd find many experts out here to give any help.

The Datsun/Nissan Z cars I have seen some classics; one is parked up on the Pearl (was a couple of weeks back) a old 240Z. Also spotted a beat up Z beside an auto electrician, guy I spoke to said it did not run and needs to be fixed but he seemed confused when I asked him if it was for sale. Would be a good project to fix up but yu could probably get a neat 350Z or paybe even the new 370Z for much the same costs.

An older american muscle car is much easier to find; spotted some sweet old corvete stingrays and a good old camaero up for sale, was tempted by a trans-am once but have limited parking spaces where I stay and it would deserve a underground spot to keep the dust away.
