Darlene's Thunderbird is a Salvage title. It's up to 170,000 miles and still going strong. No matter what she does to it.

Awww, thank you too Ben!

I've got no problem with salvage titles, but the insurance will be more expensive, and I'm not sure if my parents are cool with that. Not to mention that most body shops suck, and will most likely have done a sh*tty job.

I have fun everyday picking out the cars that have had body work done to them.

No no, I meant for pointing out that LS1 F-Body's were a real possibility, to which you were quire literally a nah-sayer, not that particular salvage. Jeesh you guys get stuck on details. Whatever you do, hope it works out for the best.

My mom just decided to cut a couple grand off the budget, and my Dad is against getting a manual. He fears that a stick shift will be more prone to accidental clutch drops and fish tailing.

Ugh.

If my little brother weren't such a little hell raiser and had earned himself some credibility over the past few years, this wouldn't be so difficult.

I ain't gonna lie, I'm kinda a fan of the Gen II Camaro/Firebird. Maybe something like this is possible at $3,900.

If I were dripping play cash, I'd probably have a 1970 Formula 400 in my garage somewhere.

$4-5K, so... $5K.

I found a cool Saleen Mustang actually for around that price, I'm going to check it out.

Those 2nd gens are cool. I was looking at a few, but to get one with decent paint and body they're out of the price range. But yeah a 400sbc would be cool, maybe a later year like a 78 Trans Am.
