What can I get for $25k-$30k?
 

I see we have a bunch of really high end, mostly Camaro builds here. I wish everyone would put their asking prices on their title/headline so I know whether to bother clicking on it or not lol! I pretty much love all old school Muscle Cars, but they’ve always been outa my reach. I’ve been a Foxbody nut my whole life, but now is the time to move on. I’m so sick of all the California BS we have for smog and now the “loud exhaust” law just kills it for me and Foxbodies... Anyway, just wondering what’s out there for $25k-$30k.

Not sure if it helps but I like to use searchtempest.com to scour all of Craigslist. I've you're willing to travel away from your city you can find some good deals.

Thanks for this link!

to the 1st - it's good to look at Ads for cars that you are interested in - it will give you perspective on quality & price

I think you can find a Sweet Car for your price point

What exactly are you looking for?

I have a LS1 powered Nova Wagon in the classifieds right in your price wheelhouse. :D

I actually posted a WTB ad previously on Craigslist’s cars & trucks section “Looking for a clean, painted, rust free roller” that I can swap my Foxbody’s motor into, but someone kept flagging my ad...
I’m pretty open to a lot of old schools up to 1973, not just Fords. My dad did have a ‘70 Cougar in the Philippines before I was even born. Claims it was the only one in the PI at the time. So a Cougar would be on top of my list right now. I’d love to surprise him with one. If I don’t end up with a Cougar it’s ok. I like all interesting muscle cars. LS swaps with the big brake kits and suspension mods are really nice! Just no big projects or anything with rust.

This Cougar is for sale: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=53790

I doubt you will find more bang for your buck than Dave’s wagon. There is a lot invested in that car.

That Cougar’s bad ass, but I don’t want to have to get it painted

Yes I agree, that one is very nice!👍
