I'm not looking to build a new car, although that would be cool just to much for the org investment.
I have my 73 Camaro that would be cool but I think there might be a better (cheaper, better starting) platform to start with??
The key part to this is for me at least is "budget" something that could use as many OEM parts as possible, Vet brakes, wheels???
I keep going back to a 3rd gen Camaro or a Fox body Mustang??
What else??

That second gen is your best bet....the front suspension geometry is good you could keep the stock arms, just put in some good springs (front and rear) subframe connectors, quick ratio steering box, adjustable shocks and sway bars....done
fox bodies are terrible in stock form...I just put one on the rack 3 weeks ago and the stock castor on that car was 2-3 degrees....in order to fix that will require a whole new autocross K-member with control arms (about 2500 bucks) and then subframe connectors, adjustable shocks and sway bars....done
