Well I have had convertibles since the 60s & some of the most fun to drive are the Datsun 2000, & MGBs, especially mods. My current 75K miles, 80B is bored to 1950, upgraded with Electromotive Fuel Injection & 280Z 5 Speed cost $9500 a few years ago, my 2000 sold in trade at $8000. Lets just say it hauls ass, sounds like racer when that EFI punches. My Datsun 2000s were screamers on mountain roads & could beat most everything on those courses. The current B was acquired in a 3 way swap/$ deal with my latest 2000 with 2 buddies. You can also get decent early Mustangs for that. (not my 68! 331 stroker, built AOD, power, air, power top, all upgraded engine parts, chrome alum, etc.), but, I paid $14k for it & all the body work had been done & it had all original parts, ran good, & had 98K miles (Documented), 1 owner car. I know its tougher now, but look for deals, they are out there. Forgot to mention, a number of Corvette convertibles, less than 36k mi., under 15K, wife's current Vette, 2000, I owner 32kmi, $13,950, from a Chevy dealer 5yrs ago. That probably would be hard to get now, but deals are out there.
