Need help choosing

Now i dont want to sound completely new, but I am. I am 15 and have been in love with muscle cars since i was 12. Since then i have saved $5000 and now feel i can buy my first muscle car. So if any of you have a good starter car. With good power but some what cheap it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Brian

I'm afraid you are a bit below the price range of any of the true muscle cars; GTO's, V8 Chevelles etc, at least ones that are in decent driveable condition.
However, a '70's Camaro/Firebird is possible, as is a V8 Duster or other '70's mid size coupes.

Also, consider a '60's or early '70's personal luxury car, like a Thunderbird, Monte Carlo or Grand Prix. They all had decent muscle car worthy drivelines and often rode on the same or similar basic chassis and suspension, but are cheaper to buy.

5K might be able to get you a old junker muscle car for restoration. So for a true muscle car like the ones Magic mentioned, keep saving the greens man.

ok, thanks I will try to save alittle more!!

Where are you located? We've found a bunch of cars for reasonable money out here in the CA desert area. Can you do mechanical or bodywork?

Edit: I really like the 8th ad down, the '67 Dart for $4500. 318 w/ console auto.
