Records online show Cobra MkII 289s going for just a couple hundred dollars over $5k.
Same for a Ferrari 250GTO . . 1969 5,400 Purchased by Kirk F. White of Pennsylvania, USA.
BUT if it had to be new and under $5k, these would be my picks with their new car prices:
BMW 2002 $4,2001969
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray $4,4381969
Ford Mustang Shelby GT $3,9951968
Pontiac Bonneville $4,7331969

Good choice!
I bought a 69 Mustang right after I saw Bullitt.

I know one you definitely did not want to buy in 1969 - the Triumph Stag. Ah, but it didn't arrive for the Oct 1969 car show as planned. In fact they did not hit the US market until Sept. 1971. Lucky me, I bought one of the 432 stick-shift versions imported in 1972. If only they had put the Rover V8 in rather than the piece crap V8 they specially built for it. The base price was $5,525, very close to your limit.
