since i would be building myself…i would take that 40k and build two cars. both of which i will build in my lifetime. first would be a cameo. ive loved these ever since i saw one for the first time: ![http://image.classictrucks.com/f/26716688+w750+st0/1004clt_01_o+1957_chevy_cameo_pickup_truck+custom_front_bumper.jpg](http://image.classictrucks.com/f/26716688+w750+st0/1004clt_01_o+1957_chevy_cameo_pickup_truck+custom_front_bumper.jpg) second would be a ratrod model a sedan slammed on the ground: ![http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5457/7422972378_b465787710.jpg](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5457/7422972378_b465787710.jpg) ---

Fully modern suspension Modern top of the line braking system Road race style chassis Now throw in a fully built NA LSx motor with a hidden bottle for fun. Now throw an old rat rod body on it to give it a super sleeper look and that I don’t care if it gets dents or dings. ---

Vintage Euro: BMW 3.0 CSL with a V8 BMW swap would be cool or old 911 with modern swap. Vintage 'Merica: late 60s Mustang Fastback. Newer: Caterham or similar build. Ridiculous idea I may actually consider (and clearly not withn budget) would be an AMS Alpha 9 setup for the 997. ---

gutted audi A8 track car gutted A8 with LS1 swap and front wheel drive delete chevy express 2500 van with all wheel drive. Put a regular 4L80 in it and remove the transfer case and install another LS1 in the rear to drive the front wheels. twin engine 1000 hp reliable van. (great on gas\*) chevy express 2500 van remove body bolt seat to frame rails add roll cage and go racing. B5 S4 remove turbo system and install large supercharger S65 with downpipes and a tune a stock mint SHO that is unmodified factory five makes some amazing cars but I dont’ think any of them are in a 40K price range. 2 of these will actually happen ---
