Curious what everyone would build/buy if you were 16 right now with a $5000 budget.

Park outside (garage with tools to work in)

Driven all year (snow)

Runs 13’s (8.XX 1/8 mile)

15MPG

Cruise control, a/c, overdrive (what could you do without?)

Classic car or any car .... ???
If a classic then a 4 door A-body (some rust lowers the cost) or 4 door Aspen/Volare with a 5.9 magnum.

Something like this, offer 3k or 2800 cash ....

Or really beat the budget with this for 1400 ...
