I have the option of building one of 2 cars and I am having a hard time deciding which to build maybe you guys can chime in here.
1st Candidate
1960 Belair 2 DR sedan decent body, needs floor and trunk pans no motor minimal body work no interior, floors and trunk pans will cost about $800 all trim is there so no hunting for that. It's a Nevada car and it is sitting in my garage right now
2nd Candidate
1967 Buick Special Wagon doesn't run buying it from the original owner for a GREAT price (almost what the floors for the Belair would cost) no body work needed, been sitting since 96, all ORIGINAL and it is a 9 passenger wagon but it definitely needs full resto floors are good tilt column power windows from the factory.
The majority of the work I will be doing myself!
Would I ever take my car to an autocross, no.
Buick has better suspension options
Belair just has the cool factor but would definitely cost more to build....hell so does the wagon lol.
The budget will be about he same, I would have the option to take the wagon auto crossing if I built it right
I am just curious what you guys would sink your money in to I have added pics so that you can see the 2 cars in question (these are just EXAMPLES ONLY for reference)
