You need to be looking at Contemporary, ERA, Hi Tech before you look at a Superformance if you expect it to be close to original in looks and detailing. SPF builds a great car, but they have taken liberties with their designs and engineering. Kirkham and CSX continuation series cars rarely come up used in your price range, so you might as well drop the dream of either of those two companies for now. Add another 20-25K on to your budget and you might find one used and in decent enough shape to call a nice daily driver.

Also, while we are on the subject of daily driver, whatever you decide to buy, make sure it has wipers, heater, and a convertible top. You might not think you need them, but if you plan to use it as a daily driver, eventually, you will need each of those items I have listed.

Finally, forget about looking at these cars as an investment, look at it as the toy it is meant as and you will eventually find the car you so desire.
