New car for my son - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

hi,

im looking for a new car for my son, he turned 16 in June and is now driving. we live in st. Charles mo and have a budget of 10,000 at max. we found a 1984 corvette for $4,200 that he wants but i don't think it will be very reliable. he wants a 2 door with an auto. any suggestions, there really isn't much out there... any help or tips would be great!

Thanks.

i thinks thats what we were looking at next. or something old, like a 70's chevelle, camaro or vette that we could restore.

How about a nice 3rd gen camaro? Maybe a nice TA?

Do you want a daily driver for him or a project car?? Maybe an older car that is in good enough condition to be driven daily but still needs some TLC.

basically as long as it started and drove, i mean we could put a new interior on it one month, new paint the next ect.
