Default Pease Help! should i rebuild or sell!!

Ok so i have a 1980 camaro z-28, and im looking into selling it. Some people tell me i shouldsell it then others tell me i should rebuild the engine up stronger. If i sell it im wanting to buy a mustang (im looking into a 95' 5.0) or a truck. Im just not sure what i want to do. So what do you think i should do and if u have any suggestions on what to do with my camaro or what kind of mustang to buy that would be great...

What to do with the Camaro? BURN IT jp

Seriously though, look for a 5.0 if you want one. Do it while your young becuase in a few years you wont be able to afford anything like that once you start racking up all those speeding tickets

Goin for the vert I see. A little heavier but nothing wrong with that. They can still be built to be ridiculously fast. Do a NICE h/c/i & throw on a charger or a 100 shot and your looking at 400rwhp+ for 3-4K (not including supporting mods that is
