If you're also thinking about cars like the Interceptor, have you had a
look on the Reliant's ? Not the Sabres or SS1, but the SE?/GT? modells.
With a GFK coupe carossery as an inbetween of Interceptor/VolvoP1800
and a touch of Aston, fitted with a Ford Essex V6 they might by (also
the price) of intrest for you - O.K., it will be difficult to find one
in the states, but there are some RHDs in the UK or LHDs in germany
and switzerland to be sold.

I guess an Alfa GTA would also be a realy nice choice. Porsche, hm, I
don't like them, neither old nor new ones (except the 356). Fiat, was
the 124 coupe the low-end pendant to the Dino ? Smart - nice car. Last
but not least, if looking for a coupe, the Ford OSI with it's italian
design is also very intresting.
Gruss
