Default What "project" car to buy?

I do not know what car to buy, maybe some input?

I am thinking of a 70-72 cutlass With retro pro touring/mild trans-am racing look, With an Olds 455, that seems to me to be, really manly and somewhat different than the usual stuff. But maybe a bit "big" and hard to get light without ribbing it? I think a 455 would be sweet out of the turns With torque everywhere But a 455 maybe would not like running around a track for very long...

And then a G-body would be much cheaper to buy, and I can abuse it without feeling as guilty And a Chevy engine is Nice for both the economy and speed. I have had a 87`442 before and miss it. (With an 350 Olds

And an Third gen F-body is a real smart Choice for performance, a bit pricey again compared to a G-body. (I live in Norway) But they are sweet loking if done right.

And then you have even more dollar cars like first gen Camaros and Firebirds thats a good Choice and cool cars, but very pricey, I have to buy parts too

The car will be a summer daily-driver and see track use, not an all-out car. But gradually upgraded With brakes and chassi stuff and such, and probably end up as an Money pit anyway

Tha last car I had was a 72 Camaro With a 454 and then I kinda fell in love With cubic inches.. Thats were the 455 idea comes from
