This Ford is closer to my budget, but still on the high side. 
Car pics too cool not to share

'66. I've been wanting to make a similar light with my spare '64 parts.

Back to where it all began…A beautiful 1932 Ford V8 - 3 window coupe!
The Front 225 or ‘Typ UW’ as it is known in Germany, is part of a short lived line of Front wheel drive Audis. The 225 replaced the original model of two liters which initially launched the FWD concept. Made within the Auto Union empire, the Front 225 was powered by the same Inline-6 found in the W245 Wanderer. This initially produced 50 bhp at 3300 rpm, but was upgraded in 1937 to 55 bhp at 3800 rpm. This power propelled the front wheels through a 4-speed transmission.
Bodywork was typically crafted in-house at Auto Union’s own Horch-Werk facility. Standard styles included a 4-seat sport sedan, a 6-window limousine, 2-seat Cabriolet or a dedicated 2-seat roadster. Around 25 Spezial Roadsters were made by Coachworks Erdmann et Rossi. By 1938 Audi Front production was halted after 2,600 examples had been made.

What happened to cars?

Some would disagree on some points of that.
No idea. It was just a picture posted in one of the groups I belong to.
I associate Audi with FWD - when did they go back to it? Gorgeous car!
Maybe an MGB. These are 6.5" center-to-center, and those look to be standard 2-2.5" gauges. Eyeballing it, it looks to work out size wise.
I've always wondered how a car like that, something that's more or less always been a collector type car, winds up abandoned and rotting somewhere.
About the same as that rare Corvette that I see sitting in a field but when asked the owner wants running car amounts or more for it. Or won't sell casue he's gunna fix someday.
Love the chirp of the tires towards the end of the video.

I know the type. Almost always "I'm gonna fix it someday".
Speaking of Corvettes, here's one my dad tried to buy probably ~5 years ago.
It's been sitting here for as long as I can remember, probably my lifetime, and my dad had talked about wanting to buy it for years. Well, he mentioned it to the right person, and she put him in contact with the owner. After a few back and forth calls, she let him come look at it. It's a basic '71 small block T-top car that hasn't been moved since the early-mid '80s and really needs a complete restoration. She said $10,000 firm or she'll let it sit. It's still sitting. But that wound up being a good thing because someone heard he was looking for an old Corvette, and he secured a deal on a "72 big block T-top car with options in drivable condition for $7,000 just a few weeks later. Ironically, it's the same blue paint and interior.
