This is correct. Don't want to spend over 15kIt sounds like OP has $10-20k to spend guys... Not $40-50k+.
I like the pre-82 Corvettes myself. No matter what you get you'll want a mechanic to check it out with you.
Now that makes a difference bud, lol.This is correct. Don't want to spend over 15k
Haha, I know. Some of the ones I've seen on Ebay motors out of my price range are sexyNow that makes a difference bud, lol.
You can get into a C5 Corvette for that price easily currently. Though out of your choices a later C4 wouldn't be bad either.This is correct. Don't want to spend over 15k
Depending on the engine and condition of the vehicle, you could not come close to buying a mustang or GTO anywhere near that price.It sounds like OP has $10-20k to spend guys... Not $40-50k+.

To answer the original question and your budget. Don’t buy a vette. Unless you get an old one with a carburetor. Pre ‘82 ‘84-‘97 are electrical nightmares and junk in your budget.I've been thinking of getting something fun to drive (though may wait a bit to see if used car prices drop). I'm not mechanically skilled. Of these cars and era of that car, which is generally the best mechanically speaking?

There's one in Humboldt.You know what you don't see many of, these days? Plymouth Prowlers.
OP should zig, while everyone else zags, and pick up one of those babies. I feel like you could probably get one pretty cheap.
Those are the ultimate At Least You Tried moment for Detroit in the last 30 or so years. They look amazing but are gutless wonders.You know what you don't see many of, these days? Plymouth Prowlers.

There are just so many Chargers on the road. To me, at least a portion of the appeal of a muscle/sports car is the "Hey, look at that!" factor, which, for me anyway, is a direct extension of my eight year old self, gawking at everything that looked cooler than the family station wagon.What about a brand spanking new Dodge Charger Hellcat Red Eye? Nothing says "muscle" more than being to hand over that big of a wad of bills to Karl Auto in Marshalltown...

No offense to anyone who has one. Dodge clearly has found a healthy demand for them.
This would likely be the most reliable, and higher performance than most others listed, but will be 4-5 times the cost of most listed here.Go buy a Cadillac CTS-V

Don't disagree regarding the number of Chargers on the road. But not many of them are Hellcat Redeye's.There are just so many Chargers on the road.

And while the Charger is a sharp looking car, they're so ubiquitous that the wow factor is diminished to a degree.
