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.”

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

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.

That Navigator seems pretty cheap even with the high mileage. And that Camaro is great. The 90's purple is just awesome

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

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

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

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


Kinja'd!!! JR1 > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner

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.

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.
