Classic (affordable) cars

[wwgkd]

..and then you start wishing you'd spent a little more on someone else's nearly finished project lol

I experienced that with a 64 1/2 mustang. Makes me wonder about a caterham 7. If the mooks on top gear can do it, I have to be able to, right?

if i could get myself a classic car that is affordable and i was filthy stinkin rich, id get these:
- Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, 1966.
- Chevrolet Camaro SS, 1967
- Chevrolet Nova SS, 1970
- Dodge Charger R/T, 1969
- Dodge Challenger R/T, 1971
- Ford Mustang GT, 1964
- Ford Escort Cosworth ( maybe )
- BMW 2002
and many others

396/375hp Aluminum head option for the Camaro and Nova?

that kind of stuff seems okay though because it's like lego for adults. but it's still cheaper to buy one secodn hand pre-built lol, unless there are specific options you want haha

It's not so much the money you save building it as the fun you have in the process. I'd just be a little nervous taking anything I built that fast. Assembled a bike as a kid and didn't get the brakes working right. First thing I did was ride it up this giant hill behind our house (which doesn't require brakes) and then back down (which does.) That was a shock, but fortunately I'm a natural at crashing. May not work out so well on a caterham, though.
