Watch what you buy. Cheap will always mean shit box. Your dealing with much older cars as well. Do you mean old as in 60’s, 70’s or 80’s? Camaro/Firebirds - structural = rear frame right in the pockets. Mustangs - floors and well basically friggin everywhere. Vette’s - well, it’s a vette. good luck with that. Chrysler - just stay the fuck away lol. To me, your best bet. Get an old 2wd s-10 with a solid frame. Slap in a 350. And that’s it. No A/C. P/S depends on year. Everything is manual. 4-speed or 5-speed. Auto is by your preference. Slap a 3.73 gear and you got a 12 second truck. They drive awesome when they are dropped 3-6 inches. VERY cheap to build. Go to a scrap yard and get a 5.7 SBC out of a 1/2 ton, slap a cam and mild rebuild 30 over. Intake and 600 carb. I guarantee you, you will NOT be dissapointed. Not to mention…drift truck, 1/4 mile, even road racing. ---

i was at an auction on Highway 9 last weekend and there was a beautiful orange late 60’s Chevelle SS that went for only 12g’s. i dunno how much you’re looking to spend, but that’s probably the cheapest i’ve seen a clean muscle car from that era go for. apparently they’re having another auction sometime in May with almost 200 classic cars. ---

If your looking for American muscle, 80’s era cars are your closest bet man. if you can grab an old school Vette, you’ll be ballin! one of my thoughts for a future car, a late 80’s - early 90’s vette. ---

Go to Canadian Tire near Sheppard and Leslie, in the underground lot. There is a black Buick Grand National for sale. It’s the one with the 3.8L Turbocharged V6. 🙂 It looked to be in alright shape for its age. Go check it out. Let me know how it goes, it had some interest already, obviously. ---

Listen bro, seriously. You will _not_ get even a decent muscle car for anything under 6 grand. Especially within the age group your looking. A Grant National? Sheesh, there’s at least 20g’s. I built one last summer. Beefed up motor and trans, bigger turbo, injectors and custom intercooler set up. Appraised at 23,000. Sold for 21. The car was NOT in mint condition either. Search, you will search for months before you find something decent for a good price. Yet, truthfully. Go to the states. Pick up an already mildly built or even stock muscle car from someone and bring it back. Cheap to buy them out there right now. If I see anything, I’ll post. Best of luck. PLEASE be careful what you buy. ---

Car LOOKS to be in good shape. Who knows really. 2,800 is not a bad price at all, considering the mileage. > **[Kijiji Canada](https://www.kijiji.ca/cars)** > > Find great deals on new and used cars and trucks with Kijiji Autos: thousands of great cars for city driving, families, luxury, fun and more!
