Well, I already have a Mustang and a F-150, so I'd probably go this route:
- Purchase a mint (under 5000 miles) 2002 Ford Thunderbird in Inspiration Yellow. This should burn about $30,000 of my allowance.
- With the balance I'd purchase a replacement for my "daily driver" '97 Ranger -- probably another Ranger or maybe even a 4-door Focus.
The 'Bird would complete my collection of toys ('05 F-150 & '08 Mustang GT) while the Ranger or Focus would give me economical and reliable transportation for 10+ years.

I'd get a used (2003-4ish) Corvette Z06, and either supercharge it or STS twin turbocharge it. Might spend the rest on suspension, exhaust, wheels. And set quite a bit back for speeding tickets

Beautiful car! I would want it back, too.
The classifieds I've seen online are in the $60,000 - $85,000 range for early Z28s in good shape, with the top of range having the RS package.
Those prices are at classic car dealers, so maybe you could get a decent one for $50,000 private party if you are good at haggling, or willing to take one that is a little rough.
