For me this is not just an impulse buy, nor would it be my dream car by any means with only $30k lol! I’ve loved old school cars since I was a little kid. We’ve had a few in the family growing up (‘67 Mustang, ‘68 Firebird, ‘70 Cougar, ‘70 Mustang, ‘73 Camaro, ‘73 Mustang, and a ‘79 Camaro), but all were pretty much stockers... In the 90’s I got the Fox Body bug and that’s all I’ve been tinkering with ever since and still own one... Nowadays I see all these old cars being built up really nice to drive like modern performance cars, and that’s what really got me interested even more so. And oh yes, no more having to deal with the smog BS! I really don’t have a favorite make/model as I’ve always liked too many of them. Just not into the long body styles that look more low-riderish/cruiser.
Now I won’t be auto crossing, but I do want a muscle car that’s good for some spirited driving up in the foothills, not just the drag strip. In the end this would be my “Want to have list”
-Nicely painted, rust free body
-Built motor with at least 300+RWHP
-Manual 5 or 6 speed
-Beefier aftermarket suspension
-Bigger disc brakes all around
-A/C
If I find a car that has all of these things that would be great, but not having all wouldn’t be a deal breaker either as I can always do the upgrades and swaps I want later on down the road.
