So,what rust bucket car should I buy?

It's gotta be cheap,it's gotta be running.

I need a truck,love El Caminos,then again I could buy a cheap truck that runs and get a 68 Camaro,then I watched the original "Gone In 60 Seconds" from 1974 and I like the fake Mach 1.

It has to be a manual not automatic.

You won’t find a cheap Camaro from that era. Try one of these.

Define "cheap".

Because a 60's era Camaro or Mustang won't be.

Check values especially if you want to restore it.

Personally, I’d love to get my hands on a Dodge Super Bee. But I’m 65 and what the heck would I do with it?

1973 Ford Falcon XB GT, of "Mad Max" fame ...

I've always been a bit partial to the late 1960s vintage Chevelle SS ...

My oldest brother misses his 1969 El Camino. I miss my 1966 Mustang. I learned from a wealthy collector that Ford Model T’s are available for under $10K, because the owners are downsizing.

It IS a rust bucket, but not a manual transmission.

Fun to drive? 67 Volkswagen, easy to work on and not too hard to find

Porsche 914, also REALLY fun to drive (not for long trips)

If it's an old rust bucket you want, the Chevy Vega would corrode in the dealer show room when it was new.

I love mopars, but you’ll get killed on parts, both availabilty and price. B bodies are completely out of sight. GM Pontiac Tempest might be an example of affordable. I assume authentic numbers matching stuff is out of the question.

C bodies can be affordable, but are a differebt class of car.
