I'm thinking its an OK deal but certainly not a great deal. I think you will be happier in the long run with a classic muscle car compared to a new one. A classic will hold its value or maybe even appreciate in value whereas a new one will almost certainly drop in value. IMO the cheapest way to go fast is a mid 80's Mustang with a 5.0. It doesn't have to be a GT as long as it has the 5.0 engine. A friend of mine found a tuned port injection mid 80's Camaro for $3000. Almost like having a corvette engine and still averaging 18 MPG. I would think the mid 80's Mustang would get similar mpg's. Do a little research before dropping that many $'s in a classic car. On the other hand if the goat aka:GTO checks out and you can afford it, I say go for it. Much better investment than the new one. Just my 2 cents worth.............................
