The first (SMP) one that comes to mind is a VAX 8800 (I only have 1/2,

Of course, there were other non-SMP systems (like the Dual VAX
(11/780)), and systems that had multiple CPUs but weren't really
dual-processor (DEC Rainbow).

I would personally consider purchasing a re
manufactured Vintage
computer -
Something running, say, a 6502, 8080, 8085, or Z80. Definitely
not interested in anything post 8085.
Not sure what I would do with an ISA bus. Not enough pins on my
processor to drive all of the address bits.
Multi CPU systems are probably to far out of the intent of the
Vintage realm for me to consider.
There ARE multi-CPU vintage systems. Some of the CPUs in question
were many, many boards full of chips.
