Well Forsaken, i was in your position not too long ago. My first thought was a 69 Camaro. I had about 5 grand to spend and that wouldnt get me anything better than a parts car. So I moved on to Chevelles. 1970 was my favorite, but same case as the camaro only a little cheaper. By this time im feeling really discouraged. Finally i found a 67 el camino not exactly what i wanted but over time it grew on me. This is what i ended up buying. Now i love it
So the Moral of the story is: Dont be too picky for your first car because you'll probably end up with something bad-ass anyway
