Maybe you wouldn't daily drive an old car, but I have and would do it again. I had all the modern tech I needed in my '74 Gladiator (power steering, power disc brakes, A/C), these things were offered as far back as '63 on the Gladiators, these aren't "modern" things that came out in the past 20 years. They even came with front independent suspension back in '63, it wasn't very popular though and was done away with only a few years later. All the other features of modern vehicles, I was honestly happy to be without. The less electronics to break, the better IMO.
More importantly though is that you seem to be missing the point of owning an older car. All those toys you listed are nice in their own right (I'm more inclined to buy a V6 Camaro/Mustang/etc because of fuel mileage, they have plenty of power, and you'll never legally use the V8s power unless you are into track racing), but they lack the allure of some old school muscle. The main draw to old cars though isn't the power, it's the character, which very much is something newer cars lack. Sure, there are some exceptions like the Camaro or RX-8 that stand out in stylings, but even then you've got glaring flaws like hard to see out of, lack of power, built out of horrible materials, or unreliable components to name a few things.
Cost is another big factor in owning those toys you listed, not just up front, but down the road as well. Even just a light bulb is expensive on those BMWs (I owned a '96 M3, I should know), and chances are any work needs to be done at a shop. Older vehicles are great for those of us willing to get our hands dirty and really learn our vehicles.
You named off a bunch of straight up toys in the car world, how about some examples of good styling and allure in other areas? A lot of people are drawn to the Bel Airs, Eldorados, Furys, CJ-7s, FJ40s, etc. and I can guarantee it's not because of the power.
