Some Full-size bargains......

Here's some full-size muscle machines to consider while everyone else is fighting with machetes for Chevelles, GTOs ,Road Runners and Mustangs. # 1.  1965-68 Pontiac Catlina, Gran Prix or Bonneville. While 396 and 427 Impalas and Biscaynes of this era are rare and pricey, ( 90% of Chevys of this vintage have 283 or 327 small-block motivation ) the Pontiac cousins are a screaming bargain. 1965-66 models have 389 cubes standard with 421 optional. 1967-68 models have 400 inches standard with 428 optional. Most have the excellent TH400 automatic for trannys, but there are a few four-speed models out there as well. Also, the Pontiacs tend to have upgraded interiors and cool options like factory a/c, while the Chevys are more often than not stripped-down "Granny" cars. Great hot rod potential-there are a million ways to build power into a Pontiac V8 and any aftermarket suspension or brake upgrades that fit an Impala will fit these cars. # 2. 1967-71 Ford Thunderbird. 390, 428 or 429 cubes standard all years. The hidden headlight '67-69 model is already a classic, and I personally like the Nascar-inspired fastback '70 or '71 models the best. Won't be dirt-cheap, but still a lot less than a same-year Mustang or Torino. 1972 and later models have lower-compression engines with a lot less power and are based on the much heavier and uglier Lincoln MKIV platform. # 3. 1966-69 Buick Riviera. The racy, sexy body of the revolutionary Olds Toronado, but on a rear-wheel drive, hot rod friendly platform. 430 cubes and a TH400 standard all yeras. I see one jet-black with 18" Torq-Thrust mags and a snarling 620hp 572 inch Chevy Rat under that long hood. All it would take is some Chevy motor mounts, and a Chevy bolt-pattern TH400.  # 4. 1965-69 Olds Delta 88. 425 or 455 cubes with a TH400 standard all years. I personally think the fastback-'67-68 model is way cool. # 5. 1965-67 Ford Galaxie. These have the racy "Coke Bottle" flanks and stacked headlights that resemble a '65 Pontiac, which I always liked. They also have gorgeous interiors and 390 or 428 cubes under the hood. # 6. 1969-71 Plymouth Sport Fury. 383 or 440 cubes standard all years. Peter Graves drove one on "Mission : Impossible".  I thindk any of these cars would be a Unique, cool, project. Mastermind
