Thanks for the great welcome.  The reason I only have 5K at the current time is because I'm putting myself through college, and the reason i would rather have a project car is not only for braging rights but for the fact that it wont hurt my bank account at first. I know its gonna cost an arm and a leg later, but thats all good with me. Also, i live in PA and im willing to drive.  I would appreciate any photos or info of cars anywhere really, but like i said only got 5k because of my circumstances.  Also would rather get started earlier with a project car and maybe have it done by the time im out of college than to wait 5 or 6 years till im out and start looking then.

Sounds like you got a good plan.  Just don't be like me, and concentrate soley on the car.  College should be the priority.  (I really should take my own advice, but, I'm too hard headed for that. )  Always nice to have another young gunner here.

Welcome to the board.

Here is something to think about. At cruise night a few weeks ago I ran in to this guy who just got his 66 Plymouth back from restoration. He bought the car four years ago and sent it out to be restored. The car is absolutely stunning. Standing around shooting the bull like we always do he mentioned how much it cost him. He said that as it stands he has just over $50,000 in it. It is not a concourse restoration. It is highly modified to suit his taste.

I guess the moral of this is find a car that needs as little as possible even if you spend more than you wanted to. You will be money ahead in the long run.

My third gen has even gone up a few thousand since I bought it two years ago. But if I wanted it to be a daily driver fuel and maintenance costs would kill me.

Thanks for the great welcome.   The reason I only have 5K at the current time is because I'm putting myself through college, and the reason i would rather have a project car is not only for braging rights but for the fact that it wont hurt my bank account at first.

I was the exact same person 10 years ago.  I was a sophmore in college and "had" to get my car done before i graduated.  So the rusty project that i bought took all of my 5 years of college to complete and when i was done i had missed out on all the fun stuff you're supposed to do in college,  IE: go on trips with your friends to the lake, or the beach or jump in the car with some guys and road trip to the mtns to go skiing for a weekend.  I passed on all this just to grind out rust on a junk car.  Now its 6 years later and i'll never get those days back but i can always go outside and grind on rust.  So i say save your 5 grand for fun stuff, then when you graduate and get a positive cash flow going buy a project car. 

And by the way,  dont get married with a mortgage and have kids right away, you'll never have time or money to work on a project Charger.
