I miss eBay Challenges something fierce so rather than curse the darkness I’ll ignite a spark plug. No one is paying me so you’ll get crappy writing like that. For under $10k, find an awesome looking and driving car from a legendary designer. There are more than you might think. For example, between designing the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, Marcello Gandini managed to wedge in the Fiat X1/9, a lovely little mid engine targa top. If you’re looking at my screen name you can tell I’ve got I’ve got a car in mind and its not the Honda.
Its my challenge so I’ll loosen up the rules and allow Autotrader, Craigslist, your uncle’s used car lot etc in addition to eBay. Multiple entries per post allowed :) Post a link and a picture. Tell us the car and the designer and what makes it special. I’ll get back to you with the 10 best.

Bill Porter designed the 1968 Pontiac GTO. Unfortunately those seem to be commanding $30k+ prices on eBay so I’ll go with one of his later designs: the last-generation Buick Riviera.
This particular example has just 41,019 miles on it and sports original metallic blue (gorgeous) paint, what looks like a flawless interior, and a supercharged 3.8 liter V6 good for an underrated 240hp that can easily make far, far more. It also has heated memory power seats, memory mirrors, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless entry, and the original window sticker!

I own one. I love it. Best sportscar under $15k. Arguably the best sports car ever made for the money. I think Uehara-san is better described as the developer or leader of the project. His background was a suspension engineer. I don’t think he was the guy molding the clay models. If I’m wrong let me know. His name isn’t on the design patent.

Lovely! Its also an inspiration for the 928 so it has a pedigree and a legacy.

I’d want to know more about the dent in rear but seems like a good price.

From my experience designers often don’t get their name on patent’s.
I was hoping to find a name on the sketch, but no dice.

Dick Teague started out at Packard, but snappy design wasn’t enough to save them. His late ‘50s Packard designs were liberally robbed by Lincoln as well before the Thunderbird Concept Lincoln period that began in ‘61. The ‘57 Lincoln, for example, owes a lot to the ‘55 Packard.

I believe Pininfarina had a hand in the 1995 prototype which looks similar to the bottom drawings. I believe they’re credited with the aesthetic parts of the NSX design as well.

Gordon Buehrig. Noted designer of the Cord 810, Continental Mark II, Duesenberg Model J, and the handsome Ford Victoria Coupe
https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/ford/crown-victoria/1941734.html
I might be biased because I love ACD cars but I think Buehrig wins

Maybe. Too lazy to look. I think he styled the 4 door as well. Those can be had for less then 10k all day long
