Looking For Budget Project Car Ideas

[Damn True]

I'd stay away from the late 2nd Gen Camaro. Or anything after 1976 for that matter. If you try to do anything serious with the engine you may not be able to smog the thing.....[cough-cough]....seems like a big can-o-worms for a "budget build".....unless you do an LSX swap or some other very new OE crate motor.

That said.

Bill,
Do you remember the BF-Goodrich Racing AMC Spirit's?

If it were me, I'd do an early 510 track/auto-x car. Tons of them around still in drier states. Parts are plentiful and it wouldn't take much additional power to make one really honk. Pop in a GMPP ecotec crate motor and some suspension bits and have a ball wheels and tires in those sizes will be dirt cheap to boot. Unlike a late 70's Camaro, you might actually get a good chunk of money back out of it. Finished 510's sell well.
