LOL!Seriously, I'm just getting an idea of what to expect at different price ranges at this point. Basically anything under $18K and you're gonna need to do some cleanup whether it be on the body or under the hood. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little. I'd rather the cleanup be underhood as I'd want to do a head/cam/intake setup. Not to go super fast mind you, but these cars do need oomph to move 5,000 pounds. Some of the setups are for 500 RWHP for a good price. I'm not looking for a spotless numbers matching trailer queen; just something with good paint, no rust and good mechanicals that I can get in and drive to the beach on a Sunday morning. Gotta widen my driveway first. Quote Selected

She doesn't want to give up her Mustang's garage space. Quote Selected

It had a speed density 5.0HO swap done with an AOD and fresh paint. $9,000. You can't touch them in decent shape for that now... Quote Selected

Perhaps we'll see prices of 80's cars rise over the next couple of years. Once the baby boomers start to retire/die the prices of late 60's/early 70's muscle cars are going to drop. Just like 30's, 40's, and 50's cars before them. Quote Selected
