    Thanks for the warm welcome, yup ironically my love for old muscle cars is quite ironic, as my favorites are all what my dad, aunt, and uncles had!

    Dad had a Ford Gran Torino 1972
    Uncle Had a 1970 Mach 1
    Other Uncle Had a 1975 Chevy Nova
    Grandma (now passed away) Had a 1968 Pontiac Catalina with a 400in
    Aunt had a green Maverick Coupe

    Time for me to bring back all those memories for them!:dance:

    I am impatient, but I got a little help from some friends on what to look for when buying old muscle cars, have around 3k to spend, I can surely get a nice car for this range right?

    thanks!

    I have seen many within that range. Gotta hang out here and learn what to look for so you don't get something that is a parts car. Be ready to want to travel too. You will see deals on the other side of the map now lol.

    yeah but for being 17 aint far I can travel, unless its for a dream car

    *cough* 1969 GTO *cough*

    but i know I ain't finding one of those most likely for 3K unless I find some old man's barn find and he says " here kid, take my old car for a couple hundred bucks"

    hahha

    thanks for the warm welcome, I already spotted some Mavericks for sale on my local craigslist. Got to keep my grades up for graduation next week so maybe this weekend I can go hunting:dance:

    I got to say, out off all the forums I have joined, this by far has the most hospitality out of any of them, I really appreciate it guys, I can't thank you enough.

    That burger place sounds good^^^^
