I have been looking at beetles and baja bugs for the past week, they look to be good value

Game clarification, does vehicle need to be a running, driving car or can it be a project?

My entry into the “classic” category, but only because of what the owner says about this El Camino .
“Must sell.... to many cars... projects.”

Running. Good catch

They are great value if you live in the right area to use them

Oh tough challenge for here in Oregon, under 5k means rust bucket and not running on most old cars.

Muscle car seems to good to be true as does the El Camino.
Cool pick for classic car!

I could, in theory, go buy that today. I would, most definitely, have to live out of it if I did considering the lady and I are starting the house buying process.
I would like to own an AMG at some point though.

Nice pick for classic car. But why could not not buy the Rambler?

One day!

That Navigator seems pretty cheap even with the high mileage. And that Camaro is great. The 90's purple is just awesome
![]() 02/29/2016 at 13:36 |
|
I'm a pretty big stickler for 2 door cars. I'll look at 4 door Chevys because I'm a Chevy guy to begin with. Also until a Mrs. Camaro and little Camaros enter the picture I don't have any urge to buy a 4 door
![]() 02/29/2016 at 13:36 |

For both luxury & classic car categories I submit this bagged ‘62 Mercedes, because you can’t go wrong with a fintail Mercedes.

![]() 02/29/2016 at 13:36 |

haha that’s why I picked that Camaro, V8 Camaros was a pick of about 25-30 of them on craigslist near me in that budget haha.
The Navigator is about right in this area giving the mileage and year.
I wouldn’t pick one up with that kind of mileage though

Craigslist irony is great the off raider through me off but I will accept the answer

Wild Card (car of your choice)

That is an interesting wild car and the Trans Am is one bad ass car
![]() 02/29/2016 at 13:39 |

With prices like these, one day wouldn't be too hard. Keeping one running without going bankrupt may be the real obstacle.

Can’t go wrong with a fin tail unless it is a bagged fin tail
![]() 02/29/2016 at 13:41 |
|
I wouldn’t either but that is lower than I was expecting for that kind of mileage
![]() 02/29/2016 at 13:41 |

Really like your pick for sports car!
![]() 02/29/2016 at 14:26 |

Oh and you know it’s awesome that I slipped a Montego in there

I might even justify it depending on the status of rust, interior and engine bay.
He’s got nicer wheels/tires on it and the body looks to be in slightly better shape.
The big minus is 4 doors though
![]() 02/29/2016 at 16:31 |
|
And to a lot of people four doors is a deal breaker
![]() 02/29/2016 at 16:33 |

Would’ve been to me, no chance I’m buying a muscle car with 4 doors

Yeah, I think a “traditional” muscle car (as in a car built between 66-72, with two doors, and more than 5 liters of V8) might be one thing you won’t find under 5 grand. but I think the old is close enough.
![]() 03/01/2016 at 09:15 |

Nah you can get a legit 2 door 5.0 and up muscle car in that budget. It’s not going to be perfect though.
Example, my Montego cost $2500.
You’re not getting a legit numbers matching Hemi Challenger or a big block Chevelle for that though.
