Default what to get - V8 old 240 volvo or other crazy car

Ok, So I am starting to think about my next car (I'll keep the FG turbo ute 460rwkw) but what something different, preferably with rear seats.

If no one decides to bring over a full size pick up from the US factory (not paying 120,000 for a $40k car via importers) I am thinking about going old school crazy with a budget of about 50k (also using it to promote my business). Options so far are:

Volvo 240 station wagon V8 conversion (Miami 5.0 SC maybe?)
Jeep wrangler Hemi conversion
Dick Johnston style EX falcon (probably with full decal set) and a 5.0 miami Conversion
A Queen Family Truckster replica from National Lampoon's Vacation
Dodge charger with full dukes of hazard paint job
old school pick up truck with modern v8 conversion (old dodge or ford etc)
old merc with a v8 conversion

yes - i dont want to go back to a slow car

open to any ideas - have a year or 2 to sort it out
