What would you buy?
 

What would you buy if you wanted to get into the collector car hobby but only had $25-26,000 to spend? Don't have the resources to purchase a project car and restore it so a "fixer-upper" is out of the question.
I'm not really looking for the "buy what you like" replies; consider this a poll and not a question for a specific person. Look at it as if you had 25-26,000 to spend and needed it to be driver quality at least.

1970 Z28
1969 SS350

Re: What would you buy?
 

Can you get a decent 1970 Z28 for that kind of money? I thought they were going for $30-40,000 now?

Re: What would you buy?
 

YOU CAN BUY SOME 66-67 CHEVELLE SS CARS IN THE $25-30K RANGE. 69 SS350 CAMARO WOULD BE NICE IF YOU CAN FIND ONE. 70-73 Z/28'S ARE STILL OUT THERE AS WELL... GOOD LUCK.. KP https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

You just heard it from the source... now get hunting!

Re: What would you buy?
 

How about some early 70's SS camaros. Novas from 68 to 72 are a nice car also. Maybe a 74 Z/28. How about some big cars like 65-69 Impalas or Belairs with 4 speeds? Chevelles are always a favorite. I am sure you can find some nice GTO's for that money also. Go to the A.C. show this month.

Re: What would you buy?
 

GTOs are going through the roof just like the chevys.Birds can still be a good buy for the time being.A friend just bought a 68 400HO car,factory air with fresh paint for 15K.Ram Air cars,Judges and any converts are like wise going crazy.FYI,Tom

Re: What would you buy?
 

Look at AMC. The AMX 390, 4 speeds are still affordable, and somewhat offbeat.

Re: What would you buy?
 

1969 1970 Nova SS 396 4spd. No replacement for displacement. If you have just one old car. Make it a big block chevy. Earl

Re: What would you buy?
 

You should be able to land a decent big block El camino, or 55-57 Chevrolet Hard top...

Re: What would you buy?
 

How about a 78 Bandit or Gold edition Trans Am, 4 speed car of course. You can find a low mileage, original paint car for that kind of money and have a nice car to boot. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: What would you buy?
 

I agree. When I get that kind of money I'd like a 396 BigBlock late 60's Bel Air.

Re: What would you buy?
 

good choice... 66-69 big block 2 door biscayne/bel air.


4 speed of course. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: What would you buy?
 

71-73 Z/28
71-72 Camaro SS big block
68 SS Chevelle
65 SS Malibu 4-speed
70-72 Nova SS small block

Re: What would you buy?
 

For thirty I would find a #'s matching Buick GS 455 Stage 1, 4-speed car. Not doubt about it! Patrick

Re: What would you buy?
 

Black 67 RS Z28 with red interior, cowl plenum, headers, 4:88 gears, bench seat, metallic brakes. That would do it for me.

Re: What would you buy?
 

For $25,900 I don't think you can go wrong with this, 1967 RS/SS 350

Re: What would you buy?
 

I like that car but I'll pass seeing as how my driver car is a black-on-red RS/SS 350 local survivor, original paint, one old lady owner, 55K miles, so original it hurts.

Re: What would you buy?
 

70' Vette, LS5 or LT1.
70' Torino 429 SCJ or CJ.
You won't find any #1 cars for 25K, but there are some nice #2-3 cars out there still.

Racingjunk.com Ad # 588670: 1970 LT1 Corvette, 12,000.00 OBO. Speak of the devil? Has incorrect engine but otherwise all there. Ad was posted 2-5-06. I searched the words "426 hemi" and that came up, apparently he wants to trade for a cuda or hemi stuff. Run, don't walk!

Re: What would you buy?
 

I'd go with any 71-74 AMX Javelin 360 or 401, they can still be had for cheap and the value of those cars are going up a lot faster than I thought they would, considering the car hobby's love for AMC's. Another would be an SC/360 Hornet 4spd car. The real nice ones are going for around 17,000. If and I mean if you can find one. They only made 784 of them or so.
