no you are wrong every classic is what you could consider a POS. if you judge it by the standards you expect today it will be a huge POS. one question you should think about is...do you know what points are? and do you know how to set them?

i'm not trying to discourage you so much as i'm trying to make you realize what you will be getting yourself into. by saying you'll test drive and get car reports that tells me you have no idea what you are getting into. do you know how to tell the difference between body putty and metal just by looking at the car, or by tapping it iwth your hand? Are you going to be able to tell that the frame is rusted out even though the seller just put a nice coat of rust-oleum on it to make it look nice?

again not saying you can't do it, but you have to realize what a classic car is, an extremely worn out vehicle that unless you are spending over 10k will need a lot of work.

best of luck to you.

No I understand where ur coming from, but i bought my car for REALLY cheap.. and i know what ur talking about.. mine is a salvage rebuild title, the owner hid a cracked hood under a vinyl cover and a hole in the dash with a friggin dash carpet... alot with other things, i had to spend 1000 dollars extra for repairs.. believe me im pretty much ready for everything short of the transmission falling off lol. Regaurdless, i hope this car to be a project that i can take and make it worth more after im finished with it. I dont want anything too crappy but at the same time i dont want anything thats too built.

well i definitely wish you luck, i just didn't want to sugarcoat the advice, the last thing you want is to not know what you are getting into. as long as you understand the difficulty and work associated with the car you will learn a ton...and spend a ton lol but it will probably be worth it. i know i wish i still had that 66.

oh yeah, and im definitly eager to learn about it. I already learned some basics here and i guess its just time i found a project where i can learn more and apply what i know. But i do really help all ur advice.

On that note its come down to three.

all i can say is a 77 TA with a four on the floor and 454 under the hood. then you don't have to worry about power

Camaro's are awesome...but I've always loved Firebirds/Trans Ams myself.

For some reason whenever I look around on Craigs list I always end up scoping out the Lesbos in my area.
