Hey, just checking in here.

Some info about me...

I'm 17 years old and love every type of car except rice. Right now I'm going through my muscle car phase and would love to learn more about them. I am thinking about buying a muscle car this spring but I'm not too sure of the practicality since it would only be a summer car. Looking forward to meeting you guys though.

Great link. Thanks!

Any suggestions for for a muscle car for a 17 year old that could possibly spend up to $7000 (I need it running and with decent paint)?

1960's Camero, early 70's A body dodge or plymouth ( Demon or Duster ), Challanger R/T, 64.5-72 Ford Mustang or being you live near NY check out www.wantaddigest.com, Ny's classified car ad magazine if you did not know, always many good classics in there.

Thanks Matt.

Would you happen to know more classic car sites?
Actually I think they still have car ads in 7-11, maybe I'll go pick some up.

Great big welcome to ya Lex!! 17 years old and lookin for a muscle car, ain't life grand!! Lex, the more looking and research you do the better you will come out on finding a car. Try to narrow your search to at least one or two brands. I am not from anywhere near your area, but plenty of guys on the forum are and I'm sure they can point you to some good sources.

Watch that Streets dude though. He would stand on the roof of a 100 point concours Hemi Cuda to look and see where the Street Rods were parked !!!! Tee Hee Hee

Thanks guys. Being 17 and into muscle cars isnt easy nowadays, at least around here. But I wouldnt mind any type of muscle car sitting in my garage whether its a Mustang or Challenger. I do have a few favorites in the 69 GTO and 69 Chevelle SS but those are kind of out of my reach.

Someboady say 69 GTO

Lex dont over look the tempest/le mans for a first car,its not a "real" gto but they have the same body/interior and can be found for a lot less money. could be a good platform for a build with the 400ci motor and could be sold later to fund a better project.

Well it wouldnt be my first car but I have only been driving for a year. The Tempest isnt bad but pretty rare around here.

I wish my friends dad would just lower the price to his damn 80 Vette.

A 66 GTO is a good car. Even if it is maroon w/gray primer?? Right Streets???

AAAAAAAAhhhhhhh..... The American Muscle car lives for another generation!!!
Welcome Lex

Unfortunately, we are greatly outnumbered. Everyone my age seems to be into rice and all that crap. I admit I drive a Honda but I would rather be in a good ole American car.

me too man i have a couple of friends into cars as much as me but most are into rice and the only rice i would drive would be a nissan GTR because they are considered the muscle car of rice i whish you luck in finding a good old piece of muscle to call your own i see cars in the auto locater you get outside walmarts all the time but have not enough money to buy them it saddens me
