There was a 6.3 Merc and a couple of Impalas lying about in the price range actually, but with the 170S looking reasonable value I wanted to ensure some variety of makes. And I love the 2600, silky smooth to look at and drive. There were a couple of modded old Holden's that may be also be of interest, though not my cup of tea really.

Maybe a Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 (first of the uber-saloons). I could also be tempted by a nice mid to late 60s American cruiser, something like a 67 Impala coupe, any El Camino, Pontiac Parisienne. Ideally a 67 Mustang fastback 390GT, but probably not in this budget.... The Alfa 2600 Sprint is a beautiful car also, one of those cars that can only be appreciated when seen in the metal.
