Project: Old Skool
I've been thinking a little bit and my step-dad and I have decided to build up a mild muscle car. The car that has caught my eye so far is the Plymouth Duster, what do you guys think? I don't want to spend any more than $10k on the total project from start to finish. I'm open to anything though, any suggestions?

This is the girlfriends car. Its a 1970 Ford Maverick. We picked it up for just over $1,000.oo. I think it would rock with a 2.3 turbo SVO 4 in it. That with new suspension and interior should be only a few grand. That would be a cool little car.

5 speed stick too.
If you get a engine go for the 85-86 SVO Mustang or Thunderbird Turbo Coupe engine. The 84s were a little down on power.

look for.. early mid 70's
Buick - Apollo, Skylark
Chevy - Citation
Oldsmobile - Omega
Pontiac Ventura, Phoenix
(all of them can be had for mere $100's in running condition...)
the Pontiac Ventura( i had a 74) has the same susp setup as teh 1st gen Fbod, and is shares many body panels with the Nova. mine had a little ol' 400 in it
also a Chevy II would be a nice little car. but if i HAD to pick out a car...88~ Omni GLH-S
