Trying to finally get my first Muscle Car - I’m nervous

that car for 11k looks like its a mess just going by those shitty pictures.. if you have 20-25k to spend on on my suggestion is to find someone who knows these cars and take them to go find the nicest one you can find for that money.. not that **** box you have pictured.

Totally agree.

There should be a whole world of difference between an A-body thats worth $11k and one that's worth $20k. And I'm not saying you can't get a decent driver for $11k either, especially if you broaden your horizons beyond only looking at demons. But $20k should be a pretty nice A-body. Actually, unless it's a 383 or 340 car, it should be a really nice A-body. And regardless, I would recommend holding onto some money in case you need to put some into it. Like, if your budget is $20-25k I wouldn't spend more than $20k, so there's some money for stuff that comes up immediately.
