the cheapest car to do right now is the late 70s early 80s 2 door malibus.
you can get them for around $1500 stripped down. put a big motor trans rear cage and your done.
my neighbor has one that he put 12k in and it runs mid to low 11s

i know i will get flamed for this but the fox body mustang is another good one to build.....tons of dead fords around...:yup:

it depends... they have two diff versions.. but they are discontinuing one... the new one you cant realy bore it that much... but you can stroke it a lot... i its in the 5xx for sure but its not really wise to take it about 455 due tothe massive stroke it needs... anything above that you get into reliabilty issues

do prices go up on toy cars in the summer just b/c it's summer? i swear, if i compare prices to t/a's and vettes' now to a few months back there is like a 20% increase from dealers!

i also heard one of the big reasons they are discontinuing one of the versions is because of the reliability issue with the blocks cracking
