I grew up riding around in 60’s muscle cars, but never owned one.
I’ve owned a pristine Foxbody, and a Terminator. Enjoyed, but sold, both.
I would like the next car to have these attributes...
small block Ford
Probably pushrod and carbureted, just so it can have a cam that will scare women, small children, and their squeamish pets. This is paramount in my mind. It won’t get raced. Won’t be a daily driver. It needs to have that “chop". It will sit in the garage more than it should.
Over 35 years old, or a kit, so I am not beholden to emissions equipment requirements in my state (NC). This is somewhat of a PITA, I know.
Comfortable enough that I can get my 6’3” 220lbs carcass in and out of it.
Can it be done for under $50K, without buying a 55 year old car?
What say ye?
