Another vote for the MKIV Supra (93-98 model) with a few caveats of course...
They are EXTREMELY difficult to get in the condition you'd actually want. For a clean title, never hit (all VINs) 6MT example, this is a very safe place to put your money as they are only going to keep appreciating. Watching that market for the last 18 years has been a serious roller coaster, but the car is worth the trouble if you can find the right one...which is extraordinarily competitive.
The clean and sought after examples trade hands before an ad is even created among long-standing members of the community, and it's rare to see a true cream puff being offered on the open market. It's a truly cult-like following, similar to the GT3, and very endearing to be part of. I've been a MKIV Supra guy since 1999 when I bought my first, and have been fortunate to own 5 of them since. I'm plotting my return to that community this year, and the car I'm buying is a 'buddy deal' just like I mentioned above...no ad will ever be placed.
Another similarity to GT3s is that Supras provide the greatest feeling of regret possible when you sell them, and this is truer than ever now with so few nice examples ever trading hands. It's a timeless car, which seems odd to say about a Japanese car, but those who know really do understand.

In 3-5 years that same car will be worth $100k+ ALL DAY LONG at the rate these things are going. I would never forget that old gem you had Dan, it was just stunning! But you're living a great life now, so no shame in the GT3 game!

I had a Peugeot 205 GTI. Cool, functional and FRENCH car.
