ITT, cars that are still cheap today but will become rarer and more valuable in the future. I'm hedging my bets on third-gen Firebirds becoming rarer, these cars are classics that are still unappreciated.

So I've been thinking about starting a project car and really been narrowing it down to a few different cars. I'm looking at doing either a 90's JDM import or a 60's/70's muscle car. They're drastically different from each other but realistically this is likely my only time in life to actually get a car and do a project seeing as I have the time and money to do one and in the future I'm only going to run out of both.
Of the muscle cars I'm really narrowed down to a 69/70 Mustang or a 72 Torino.
On the JDM side of the house I'd be looking at early gen Imprezas (possibly a 2.5RSTi build), an S14 240SX, or an FD (pic obviously related).
So for the FD, my understanding of the market is a lot of these cars that are available aren't really in need of a restoration per se, compared to the more beaters that are a base model Impreza. It seems for the most part that you buy an FD and it's still usually in pretty decent shape. So while there's not a lot to do, I know there are still tons of options in terms of increasing power and improving ride and handling, especially since the car received some updates and editions in Japan after the US sales ended with the 95 models.
So is there anyone here who can shed a little light on what an FD might be like as a project? While I personally think the Veilside Fortune for the FD is the best looking bodykit ever made, I can't see myself going that far with a build, especially seeing as the FD is the most turnkey option I've come up with so far. If anyone has any suggestions on a project, I'd also be interested in hearing them.

I'm really partial to the way the Mach 1 looks, and since I'd be building the car for me and not for anyone else, I would have no problems with taking a different model and making it into a Mach 1 clone.

I also think the 22B is a wicked sexy car and I think it would be neat to make a very similar clone to the real thing.
I've also thought about something like the 300ZX, but I don't really know enough about them to strongly consider them. I know from browsing here back in the day that the engine bay is super cramped and I guess difficult to work in.

Because I'm so used to the WRX being a 4 door the 22b looks so weird

>>15088071
eventually Mitsubishi will make hardware trades with Nissan, and Nissan will make all the profit from the auto division. it will bleed Mitsubishi dry and crush the competitor that was a pain to deal with in the home market.

Not laws in the DMV, still only have a learner's until 16 and 9 months, then get a provisional license (no driving at night or with passengers) until 18.
