Decisions decisions!!

I'm looking for a new motor and I've narrowed it down to 3 possible candidates.
- Honda Aerodeck from the late 80s, like Nathan's
- Ford Granada Scorpio 24V Cosworth estate
- Ford P100 with 2.0L Pinto
They each have their pros and cons.
Pros:
Aerodeck
- cool as f*ck
- added retro coolness points
- I love pop up lights
- its a Honda shooting brake
- cheap insurance
Granny
- its big
- its fast
- its powerful
- its rwd
- its a cossie
P100
- can put a top on an make it a cool van
- rwd
- its big
- great Pinto engine so plenty of tuning options
- reliable as there's not much on it to go wrong
Cons:
Aerodeck
- fwd
- rare
- parts will be hard to come by (why Nathan has a whole spare car!)
- not that big
- not that fast
- would need another car for taking to drifting
Granny
- hard to find a cossie estate
- auto only
- its a ford
- its nicknamed a granny
P100
- commercial insurance so not cheap
- got a lot to do before I can really start modifying (hubs etc...)
- its a ford
Which would you guys go for out of those 3 considering it all?
