Welcome.

If you want to save some money, look for cars that are clones and may be cheaper. First gen Camaros are at a premium now. Second gen Camaros are going up in price. Depending on where you live, you may be limited by emission laws the newer the car is.

I have a third gen Nova. It uses the same suspension as the Camaro, but costs less to purchase. Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles and Buicks that share parts with Chevys can often be less expensive. Skylark instead of Chevelle, Omega instead of Nova.



Second gen Camaros and Firebirds have better suspension geometry from the factory and may be cheaper to make fast than their first gen relatives.

Late 70's to mid 80's Malibus and Monte Carlos are not too expensive and have a lot of potential and speed parts that you can purchase.

The best advice is to think things through and create a list of parts you want before you buy the car. It may save you in the end.

Good luck!
