I get that stance also. If you only like 71 Cuda ragtops a 74 Duster is never going to make you happy.
The guy who does the project car flipping has some other vehicles he likes and holds onto, but they are not perfect. The 'flip' cars are kinda Roadkill-ish builds - reliable, but not repainted or anything that involved. They are for fun side projects that are low stress and low money + they get an old car back on the road, which is a good thing overall.
I like too many types of cars and don't really have just one dream car. I would be just as happy with a nice 64 Belvedere or a 68 340 Dart. The real dream car stuff (low mile hemi cars etc.) that many of us would love to have are few in number and simply outside of most people's budgets I think most of us never get to really own exactly what we want.

One of my high school teachers had one of those, he had fun beating the students that had new mustangs.
He was a former mechanical engineer and hot rodder, so probably a little worked over.

SRT4 is quicker, has more support and you'll be able to find one for any budget I kinda wanted a stock lower mile one for a back and forth to work car years ago, but most of them I saw for sale were far from stock, and had been beat on pretty hard. Salvage titles are common with those as well so you have to look for that.

Most are heavily modified and/or beat to hell . If not,,,,,,, Stupid expensive I personally would prefer the looks of the GLH Omni

Drove an SRT4 back in the day - thing hauled once it hit the fun revs. Haven't seen a nice one in years. . Having worked on them all when they were new. I can honestly say they are a fun car. A LOT of fun. Although,, The SRT doesnt have the torque steer issues the earlier cars do. But both are a blast to drive around town and mess with the locals.

I also prefer the GLH look over the Neon but I guess the Neon would be more advanced and faster.
