I know this has been posted Many Many times but this boils down to a bigger question on what i want to get after i restore my 65 Falcon (i originally was plannin on makin this fast but scratched the idea just as quick)
I either want to get a 1970 Camaro with a 355 in it and work with that or get an import.
Import is what originally got me interested in cars and i will always have a love for them, but my dad was always a muscle man (R.I.P), and i love muscle now too so i am kind of at a loss.
The second car would be limited to a weekend driver :devil: People have said that old cars are shit but i know what i am doing and i know how to make them handle better and get them to go faster. I also know how to give a lot more power to the imports.
Feedback PLEASE.

get an old import like a classic celica, old school RX2 RX3, toyota corona, 240z, datsun 510, a B210. if you wanna go import but still look like a muscle car and get great gas mileage and handling. (or you could always slap a buick V6 or V8 into any of them if its your desire)
or go with an old school british roadster like an MGB or a MIDGET or SPITFIRE and throw in a small block 305 or a 289. my uncle had an Austin Healy Sprite with a nearly stock 289 and Ford 9 inch that could pull wheelstands with drag slicks out back. only cost him about $600. but in the end its all up to you. dont let anyone make decisions for you.
and then of course you could go with a muscle car.

Fuel injected cars are always going to be better than those old carburated muscle cars.
