These two beauties are each offered at $19,500, represent opposite ends of the collector car spectrum and are local to me. Which one would you choose?
First up is the 1957 BMW Isetta 300 we featured less than one week ago. The seller claims this is in good, original condition, and the photos seem to agree. As mentioned previously, microcars have been moving way up in value recently – is there room for this to go up?

Second is a very nice 1970 Mustang Mach 1 351 H-Code, which means it’s a 351 two-barrel. This was the bottom of the Mach 1 barrel, but should be a torquey beast (close to 300 ft-lbs). Similarly, this car appears to be in good, original condition with only a few needs listed. I’m not usually a white car guy, but the white with white interior is pretty cool and the stripes are nicely offset on the exterior. Mach 1s demand pretty good prices, though the 428 Cobra Jet cars obviously are priced in a different league. Still, they all have a handling package, aggressive exteriors and the deluxe interior and they all command interest and respect.
