    \n
  1. Ford Mustang<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Ford<\/p>\n

    Ford\u2019s famous \u201cFox body\u201d Mustang has been a fan favourite for many years and they are still pretty cheap! The 1987-1993 version also made it to 5.0 litre, V8 with 225 horsepower and 300 lb of torque. Dismissive number these days but with some simple adjustments it can be pushed sky high! You can find some other <\/span>Ford Mustang car for sale<\/span><\/a> at CarSwitch.com!<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1.  Jeep Grand Cherokee<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Grand
      \nIf boxy muscle cars are your style, then Jeep Cherokee is one of the most beloved models ever made! Both the Jeep Cherokee XJ and Grand wagoneer were refurbished in the 1980s and remain one of the most sought after SUVs, both for their classic feel and their off-roading capabilities! Check out this <\/span>      Jeep Cherokee car for sale <\/span><\/a>for a more modern twist to the classic SUV!<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. BMW 325i<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"BMW<\/p>\n

        If BMW is more up your speed, then consider the E-30 3 series, which is known to be car enthusiasts’ favourite and affordable car from the BMW series out there! Back in the day, this inline-6-powered 325i was a great starter rally car! The regular 325i gives you the best bang for your buck, managing to eke 169 bhp out of the box! The E-30 has been the classic of choice for those with a more passionate driving style, particularly the 325i sport models with their boxy styling and restricted slip-diffs!<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Ferrari Mondial<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"Ferrari
          \nProduced by the Italian manufacturer between the 1980 and 1993, the Ferrari Mondial was a V-8 powered, mid engine grand tourer, that was arguably one of the worst Ferraris ever!<\/span><\/p>\n

          Claimed to be one of the slowest Ferraris ever, its V8 engine was severely underpowered for a sports car at 214 hp! And it also, didn\u2019t come cheap. It cost AED 235,000! But we guess at the end of the day, it was still a Ferrari, if not the best! <\/span><\/p>\n

          We\u2019ve got you covered, though. Check out this <\/span>2013 Ferrari 458<\/span><\/a> car for sale!<\/span><\/p>\n

            \"Saab
            \nThe appeal of topless motors is no puzzle! Dropping the hood exposes you to a world of sights, sounds, smells and of course the dazzling beaches and unlimited headroom! This 900 turbo was one of the first mass-produced turbocharged cars, a system that many modern cars have now adopted. It remains one of the most wonderfully weird and quirky Saab cars!<\/span><\/p>\n
