What's the cheapest late 60's early 70's classic muscle car that I can realistically buy that isn't heavily imposed by boomer taxes and in general muscle car tax.

Get a 1969 Camaro OP, you won't get taxed at all.

Well, I don't know about cheapest, but Mercury Cougars have kinda dodged the boomer tax, and I personally think that they're damn good looking cars with a racing pedigree.

Plymouth Dusters are pretty unloved and can be found on the cheap. Still partial to the Cougar though.

This, they're just Mustangs with superior hideaway headlights.

70's dodge dart

probably no more than 20k, very likely goes for much less

If you just want the "look"

lots of Japanese sport coupes in the mid 70's looked like mini muscle cars, often were just as "fast" (note not quick) despite having a lot less HP.

Laurels, Skylines, Celicas, RX-3's and such

Cougars are definitely cheaper than Mustangs, and are one of the meanest looking late 60s muscle cars, but I don't think they could be called the cheapest. I don't think I've ever seen a running Cougar show up on Craigslist in my area for less than $5000.

Running early 70s Mercury Comets can often be found for $3000 or less, simple cars that are great for learning to wrench, lots of aftermarket because they share a lot of parts with Mustangs. Stock Comets are pretty underpowered but it's relatively easy to swap in a 302, pic related (bought as a daily driver for $2000) is in the middle of a 302 swap right now. Or you could just find a Ford Maverick which is a step up in performance but also a step up in Boomer Tax.

Other cheap options:

AMC Javelin
Oldsmobile Toronado
Ford Thunderbird
Toyota Celica

>subtract ~$1000 for 4 doors

If you're on a budget maybe consider some full size cars? Many have the same engines as muscle cars, just in a cheaper bigger car. Heavier sure, but comfy as hell. Some look as good or better than muscle anways
