I have advised the younger guys that ask...
If you think you will be happy with an "investment car" that must be carefully maintained and preserved then there is a significant potential for an up side even in a modest five year plan.

However, if it is your desire to whip the ponies and cause trouble around town then a highly modified car is the best option.
The absolute best of both worlds ?? at least four cars!

In my world, and investment car needs to be my fourth car. Four cars deep I can usually leave them alone.

It's really that simple...
If the car is for someone else, factory original and unrestored is without question the best.

If the car is not for someone else, and is instead for you, then a fire breathing modified car with big brakes, plush leather and ice cold air is best.
