I agree with a lot of what you are saying but your not saying it all. My father fought in the korean war was shot a total of 3 times and had three sons of which I am one of those sons.A big price was paid for me just to grow up in this great country. So what I am saying is 50k American Dallars is a Hell of ALOT OF MONEY ! For a car built in south africa

So buy one built in the USA? ERA comes to mind among the top of the heap (:
You still have not stated what features you want, but pre-owned ERA cars can range from $50-70K depending on equipment and how much you want to "fix".

You know what they say, "you can't take it with you." Maybe if you lay out the specifics of what you want, and your skill level, we can help steer you in a direction that will make you happy in the long run. But, as I said in my first post, this has become a rather expensive hobby, considering these are just stupid toys....

$95K for a replica cobra or...
$50K for used Shelby gt350 or $70K for used corvette Z06 with a real car title and still have about $25 to $45K left to take wife on a vacation.

Hauss,
I sent you a couple PMs. If you're serious I have a car that may meet your needs. Let me know.

But Evan, don't you think he's going to say something like "well obviously you weren't satisfied with your SPF because you're now upgrading to an ERA." That's going to be a tricky one to answer.

Get a Corvette if that is importaznt to you
I believe a Corvette is the only car 100% built in America with 100% American parts and you can buy a very nice one for 50k..... 
I'll be...not any more....the BMW, Toyota, Honda among others lead on the Index American Made at cars.com

Not even close - the Corvette has 75% North American (not specific to USA - could have Mexican and Canadian parts in that 75%) content. The story is 7 years old, but no reason to believe it has changed materially in the intervening years.
https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...merica-feature
Motor Trend article listing the vehicles with most North American parts ( 15 Cars With the Most North American-Made Parts - Motor Trend ). This is from 2015 and also shows the Corvette at 75% NA content.
America’s original sports car boasts 75 percent of North American content — the highest (tied) percentage of any vehicle available for sale in the U.S. Like previous generations, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette is built on U.S. soil in Bowling Green, Kentucky, with its 6.2-liter V-8s (455-460-hp LT1, 650-hp LT4) sourced from the U.S. Transmission choices include a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed auto, which come from either the U.S. or Mexico
As noted above, there was NO vehicle from as recently as 3 years ago that is 100% NA content. Not even Tesla.

This post
I know this thread is getting a little, ahem, "long in the tooth", but thought I'd chime in with a little that I know. This OP sent me requests for info on a BDR that I listed here a while back. I sent pics and info along with, what I think, are good credentials on the car. I'm asking $42K for this car that has over
80K invested in it and is effectively brand new. The OP, informed me recently that some guy told him that being an older BDR, 2008 build, the car was only worth 30K. I realized that this is, was, whipping the proverbial Dead Horse when someone makes an arbitrary statement such as this.
There's nothing like shopping yourself into total confusion.

Patrick,
I wouldn't hazard a guess. At this point I don't know what to think, but I'm done with this thread.
