The best musclecar around 30K?

[ZiggyL78]

I'm a GM guy but I'm tired of pouring money into race cars and getting 30% back when I sell.I'm hoping to still get something fast but I would like something that is a good investment.I will be spending around 30K or less.I always thought that 69 Camaros were a good investment.I've seen a couple of restored 69s with big blocks under 30K.I may even try a Mopar.

I'm looking to get into something in the same price range for cruise nights and it seems that right now, Novas and Chevelles offer the best bang for the buck. I've seen very few decent Camaros for sale. Years ago, there were lots if nice '67 SS350 cars, but I haven't seen a decent one in years! KWhizz's Nova that was for sale on this site was a great buy and I would have picked that up if my car had of sold a week sooner...

I have said this before about Dart Swingers being under valued and fast.
For $30K you can by one in mint shape if you do not mind a Mopar.
I am in the GTA area near you and i see way to many 69' Camaro's at the cruises, at $30K you will be buying one that will mix in with the other hundreds of 69' Camaro's that are all over the place.
I say go with a car that not to many guys have.

Hey Ken you are off a bit on the mileage, today it sits at 25,334 miles. When i bought the car in September 2009 it was at 23,704 miles but the previous owner before me did snap the Speedo Cable during his ownership.
He bought an NOS Speedo Cable to replace the broken cable but he never did install it until i put it in the car after Rick sold it to me.
One thing i do know is Rick barely drove the car and took it to only one cruise-show in nearly ten years and that show was just down the street from were the car was parked in his dealer showroom.
I figure the car still has under 30K original miles anyways as he just took the car out for small road trips near his dealership on Jane St. + Hwy #7 as the car was always parked in his showroom.

Ken if you do ever go look at a car that you might buy, let me know, maybe i will come with you as 4 eyes are better than 2.

This is the coolest thing under $15K I've seen lately. Survivor other than paint (original paint was D-E-A-D I guess). Houndstooth roof (!) matches the interior. 351C/auto.

If you want to work on something I have a good 68 SS RS 396 Camaro for 15K. Has a 427 in it but the orig 325 hp 396 is on a pallet.

Or I have a 69 383 auto on column Super Bee orig paint, great car for 25K

Or a 68 SS RS 350 4 speed car for 35K, mostly orig Rally Green paint with lots of options

Boy, ask and ye shall receive. Those are some nice choices. You can also get a lot of car for the money with pontiacs. Firebirds and gtos will all have factory docs which will bode well for resale and the investment angle. Plus for 30k you can get into a convertible too.
