so ive been looking to buy an old classic car and restoring it and dont really know where to start. i want some advice as in what are the best cars to look for and where to look and stuff like that. i dont want to spend over 3k. im not looking for anything insane, just an old muscle car that has the potential to be sweet. only place i know of is craigslist and local newspaper which does have some but not a whole lot.
If you're looking for a classic car right now, Mustangs are one to avoid. Just went through that mess helping a friend find one.

Chevelles are great, but hard to find. It took me a while to get mine. I agree 100% with paying more for a car in better shape. Some cars look nice, but you find all kinds of problems when you start pulling it apart.
Hi, everyone. We bought a 97 base model convertible Camaro and someone broke the motor ... Lights were blinking on the dash and that someone ignored the...
