You have a max budget $1,000 to buy a relatively unique car that you think you can have back on the road in no more than one year. What do you buy?
First choice would be this 1971 Mercedes 250. Looks like it could easily be turned into a nice runner in under a year. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
The back up option would be this 1986 Ford Bronco, not my favorite Bronco, but a rust free version of these is totally worth it.

I’d go for a conversion van or custom van, simply because they’re both unique and simple to work on.

Jeep Cherokee for 650 with a low mileage replacement motor for 350.
At home engine swap and it’s time to beat it up on a trail.

A poor runner for under $800, in the right color, and needing a good bit of work. I don’t care if it’s “unsafe at any speed.” Set up right these things can carve corners like a modern sports car.

2000 Tracker Soft Top (top not included) - $350
“ NO hydraulic brake pressure.”... “The cable operated emergency brake works like a champ.”
“Rocker panels and fender bottoms are very badly rotted “it’s a Tracker thing””
Interesting? Check.
Cheap? Check.
Good candidate for pickup conversion? Check.

A shockingly solid looking ‘66 Continental coupe.

Or it’s polar opposite, an ‘83 BMW 320i that looks okay.
