What classic car would you buy brand new?

If you could have any car in history (pre 2000) brand spanking new from the factory today what would you choose for your only car? Assume you can't have a backup car, but parts are available and adjusted for inflation, and everyone knows how to work on them if you don't do the work yourself. Personally I'd go for a 90s BMW 850CSi. Comfortable, 4 seats (kind of) for groceries and/or passengers, great sound and feel from that V12, and lots of modern comforts. Or maybe a Merc 300SDL. Nothing like that 80s German luxury, and those diesels are awesome.
