This is what they're asking over at Classic Motorsports?
"Let’s say you were accidentally transported back in time to 1970. You wake up with a headache and $3700 in your pocket. What would you buy?"
Fiat 124 Spider
MGB / MGB GT
Triumph TR-6
Porsche 914
Opel GT
Datsun 240 Z
I have this thought when I lay down to go to sleep every night. You really have to ask?
Convertible Hemi Cuda, placed in a hermetically sealed container, to be opened by me in 2007 just before Barrett Jackson. Use proceeds to buy all the above listed cars over and over again.

You would be about $1900 short, but I guess a few payments wouldn't hurt.

Look in the classifieds in the back of Hot Rod.
I'd go get a 340 4-speed Duster. A '70 340 or 383 4-speed Challenger probably would be a few bucks more than the budget.
If it was late in '70 I'd probably get a '71 340 4-speed Demon.
Or every 32 deuce I could lay my hands on. Or as many Ardun heads as I could find.
Or a P-51. Yeah, that's what I'd do.
Well, there's a 1966 Cadillac, a 1967 Land Rover and a 1969 MGB GT parked in the driveway right now. So I guess I'd have just as much of a hard time then as I seem to now.
Although a used Ferrari race car wouldn't be a terrible thing.
Chevron stock until may 1986 when I'd dump it and sell it for the Msft which lost tons of value after the IPO from $28 per share to $0.12 (according to yahoo finanace).
That should take your $3700 and turn it into $199-200M..
(Microsoft had 9 2-1 splits over the years).
Rx-3 would be nice, but probably 240z or just get a 510 wagon and clambake the hell out of that motherberkeleyer.
