67 mustang
76 olds 442

If you want a project car, get a good ol american muscle car.
parts would be cheap.
they'd kick the hell of imports
and they look 100x better than todays cars.

I'm with Rip on this one. . . . Olds 442. Although, I really loved the 1972s.

Talk about a platform you could build for domination. . .

As geat as muscle cars are, parts are NOT easily replaced. It will be hard to find body parts, glass, and electrical parts for these cars.

But, with 12k you can find a nice example that is extremely well maintained.
