I have car ADD. What to buy?

[Never_Enough]

I want too many cars & can't have em all. I used to switch cars once a year or so, but have been toning it down lately. Just sold my latest Miata because I am looking for a rust free Miata to keep for a long time or maybe even another nicely modded LS1 Trans am.

I sold my C6Z earlier this year to free up more $ for house shopping + I have wanted a resto mod 65-67 Chevelle for years.

I still badly want the Chevelle, but I would buy one with a good amount of work already done. At the very least, drivetrain already swapped & sorted. (I want LS powered) However, I have never driven a resto mod classic. I have driven stock classics, though.

Last night I was thinking, maybe skip another Miata for now & just use that $ to buy more Chevelle if need be or be an adult & use the $ for the house fund not another toy.

Finally, before I did buy a Chevelle, I would check the market to see if there are other cars that I may be wise to look at it. Never know what you might like more!

I'm looking for input/opinions on what to do and/or what other cars to perhaps consider. Must be V8 or bigger, RWD & in same $ point as the Chevelle. Also, I am wanting something that you do not see on a regular basis. Whether that be the actual car or simply the color. FYI, I do love loud colors. My Z06 was Atomic Orange.

I'd be looking for a nice driver. I don't do car shows & I don't want a garage queen. I will be driving whatever I buy. Not really interested in another C6 Vette or a narrow body C7 either. Mustangs & Camaros, short of the 6th gen ZL1, are doubtful to interest me as well since they are so common. Don't really want anything slow either.

Maybe buy a nicer car?

I used to be the same way (but with shoes) I always kept wanting the newest payless shoes. Then, I got an expensive name brand shoe like Under Armour and it has stopped my shoe buying completely.

Wut? So UA shoes never wear out? That's like saying buy the most expensive oil you can and you'll never have to change your oil again.

Not literally stopped

stopped shopping for replacements trying to fill that void.

At a certain point, you know you just have it.

Get the Chevelle, they are seriously bad@ss cars. Unfortunately I never owned one myself but growing up there was a modded Chevelle that ruled the local makeshift drag strip. Soooo cool.

there is nothing that gets as much attention as an all out pro touring vintage beast

Hope this helps motivate you for the Chevelle !! Just get ready to empty your wallet ... LOL

Did you miss the part where I don't want something I see 50 of each day? I've owned 5 Mustangs already anyway.

Sex on wheels. Not rich here so I will be looking for something with as much done as possible for as little as possible. Then I will tweak to my liking.

I don't think you're getting it. I never said newest or fanciest. I buy what I like. I've had plenty of nice cars. What I am saying is, I want them all & get bored then move on to something else. Not because I buy junk.

I'm debating doing a frame off on a muscle car with updated running gear and drivetrain. Been contemplating
1970 Chevelle
1967 GTO
1971 Cuda
1969 Camaro
1969 Mustang
1968 Charger

Do a modern bug block in any of them except maybe an LSin the camaro or coyote in the stang.

Those were my favs.

I've always loved the older whale tail turbo Porsche, but never driven or even sat in one. No idea what they cost to buy or maintain or how fast they are. I doubt I'd want a stocker. I'm sure it'd be way too slow for me.

I'm sure they are more than I wish to spend or can afford at this point for a fast clean one.

You'll get the fever if it's the right car.

I say Chevelle or GTO. Doing all the work = $$$$$$$$$$$$ pit. I'm looking for something with a good bit done already.

I know when I find the right cars. I've had my Speed6 for 4+ years. It's my second one. I learned my lesson. I'm not selling this one.

Loved many other cars I have had, but nothing I couldn't live without. Obviously, I enjoy Miatas too as I have had 2 and am looking for a 3rd rust free wellsorted version to keep for a long time. I kept all the mods from my last one to put on the next one. I never do that.

Maybe look at a LS swapped fd rx7?
they are gorgeous, balanced (even with the LS), you'll get the practicality of a corvette and exclusivity of the rx7.
I'm sure someone will probably say it, no its not murder if you have an rx7 without a rotary, some people like torque, some people like unreliable screaming engines, if you buy the car, its yours to do what ever you want with it to make you happy.
