What would you buy?

I am thinking of starting a project car. Since my Lil Red is all original, I was thinking of getting an older (pre 1970) car and creating a car to show and drive that would have custom paint/interior and dropping a big HP engine/trans into it.

I want to try to stay in the $30K range for the budget.

What would ya'll suggest as the car to start with?

 

[SrtBrad]

70 or 71 RT Challenger maybe a 70 or 71 Cuda.

 

[includemeout]

AMC Pacer.................great visability and unique................

 

[belgiumbarry]

i would go for a COBRA :rock: :rock:
don't know if there are "wrecked" ones to start with.. ?

you don't need a roof to show...more.. they even open the hoods

 

[RUFROZN]

68-70 charger--- SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

 

[ntw0rk]

67 Camaro!!!

 

[RedRamRules]

Cadillac Eldorado, Pontiac GTO, Ford Mustang 64.5?

 

[Kevan]

'70 1/2 thru '73 Camaro.

Chrysler A body, because the E bodies (Cuda & Challenger), and the B bodies (Charger, Road Runner, GTX, Coronet, etc.) are too expensive unless you find a deal on one. The A bodies (Duster, Dart, Demon, etc.) are also lighter, and you can fit big block or small block engines in them easily.

Always remember "Its Mopar or no car"!

GTX has always been nice, plus they are kind of rare. Or a 57 Coupe De Ville. 1950 Mercury, lowered and chopped with a big block!

 

[TREKER]

Ford Maverik...

 

[Brat]

Yugo,that would be cool.

 

[SRTINCT]

'70 Buick GSX Stage 1

my dad's 66 GTO---$4500 already has a disc brake upgrade, 2 motors-389 and 326(why), all new stainless steel brake lines, new rear springs, plus more...real GTO car, NOT a clone. Would leave you $25,500 for restoration.
