Starter Muscle Car

Hey guys, so I'm looking at buying my first car soon and I would like it to be an American muscle car. My price range is 2 to 3 grand and I know that some cars are more expensive than others to fix up as a project car. I'm looking for an overall affordable project muscle car. I'm not going to be drag racing it or doing anything like that; I just love American muscle cars and I would love to be able to restore my own. Whatever info would be valuable. Thanks guys!

Buy a third Gen f body or a g body

94-98 mustangs are cheap as hell too. plenty of upgrades to be found with them on the cheap.
