94-98 SN95 are great platforms to start with. 4 wheel disc brakes, 8.8 dif, lots of room in the rear fender wells, lots of room in the engine compartment. Designed in Ford’s new wind tunnel program, much better coefficient of drag vs. Foxbody.

[@rorsche]

I'm not a Ford fan, at all. But saying the SN95 is a better platform than the Foxbody has to be one of the most retarded comments I've ever read. The T5 and 9inch they put in Foxbodies alone makes them superior. The 4.6L in the SN95 was a ripoff of the Cadillac High-tech engine (later known as the Northstar), and the 5.0's were so nuetered, they might as well have been 4 bangers. Fox bodies with a smart build, mild cam, lifters, headers, intake, were actually impressive cars and in my opinion one of the few respectable Mustangs. Where SN95's with hard builds were still shit. The drag coefficient on both were pure shit. The only car Ford has ever built with a decent drag is the GT, and they basically just made it into a race car...

Two years ago I was looking at an 02 Firebird with 92,000 miles for $8,000. Beautiful car. I passed on it because the dude wouldn’t come down from 8k at all. If you were selling that same car today, the negotiation would start no lower than $16,000.

Those Caddy's with the northstar are a total nightmare. Just to work on the issues they have you need to drop the whole front engine assembly out of the car. Buyer beware.

you can also find the Lincoln mark viii with the 4.6 4v (280hp) from 1993-1998 ive seen these cars go anywhere between 1200-6000 bucks maybe more depending on miles but ive seen even ones in the lower miles with 50k-100k go for pretty cheap

Lincoln Continentals are absolutely slept on. 275 horsepower and low priced. Super reliable

[@pyroteknic420]

I had a 1994 Mustang GT when I was in college and man was it great. A thing you didn't mention is that in 1996, Ford switched from the 5.0 to the 4.6 for GT Mustangs, so if you want an SN95 with a 302, you're limited to 1994 and 1995. That said, sometimes car companies (allegedly) will down tune a car the year before a new power plant is introduced in order to make the new one look better on paper. That being the case, if you can get into a 1994 GT 5.0, you've found a true diamond. I'm not saying the 4.6 is worse per say than the 5.0 (I've owned both), but it's like comparing raisins to wine; same ingredients, far different outcome.

[@Kolleo5.3]

buyer beware of the 06-07 impala/monte carlo ss. those cars can be hell to work on because the engine bay is so packed together. other then that, great sound, great power and lots of fun. bought a 07 monte carlo ss for $4500. needs alittle bit of work but its one hell of a car!

[@malcolmtyler1622]

I got a 06 caddi DTS for 1.5k and it did me great for awhile until the head gasket blew. Had good power but the weight took a lot from it. Pretty comfy too.

[@josephstratemeier8619]

The Lincoln LS 3.9 V8 was actually a Jaguar motor. All the Ford V8s at the time were the modular 4.6, 5.4, and 6.2.

[@triston5540]

Lincoln LS: I had one. They are alright, they make decent power and sound really good, but weigh a lot. Likely can be found for 2-5k in my area. Mustang GT: have one of these rn. Best part about these cars is they were the last of the relatively light mustangs at only 3000 pounds. The 4.6 sounds awesome too! My area they go for about 6-10 depending on various factors.

[@flybygaming9678]

2005 CTSV 165k miles got it for 9k with a RPM transmission T56, kooks customs headers, cold case radiator.

[@LibertyDrives]

[@imjustanobody1233]

For the c4 corvette here is what you should know: Stay away from 1984. Horrible engine and it’s slow with many problems. First year of the c4. 1985-1991 came with the l98 engine. While they may not have a boatload of horsepower they do have a s*** ton of torque. I would recommend the later model l98 such as 89-91. Later models produced around 250hp and 350ftlbs of torque. Later models had better heads. 89 had the last year for digital dash, 90 had the new interior which also came with airbags, and the 91 came with the new interior and exterior. When it comes to making power the intake is the main restriction. It’s also what gives it the great amount of torque. The exhaust is also a big restriction. As someone with a 90 vette with headers back I can tell you that it’s a night and day difference. The thing f****** rips! With headers and exhaust and a tune from Pcm of nc my quarter mile is running high 12’s and low 13’s with the mods I have. If you swap out the intake and spec it right you can totally make power. The l98 is more of a stoplight to stoplight warrior especially with mods. 92-96 came with the lt1. If you had a manual the 96 came with the lt4. These cars produced more horsepower, but still had similar torque values as the l98. These cars wanted to rev more high up unlike the l98. The downside tho is the dreaded optispark distributor system that sat right underneath the water pump. Not to mention it’s a pita to work on. It might not feel as torquey as the l98, but once it gets into it it’ll go. The 1996 lt4 is a different monster tho. Overall both have pros and cons so it depends on what you want. IMO if I had to choose again I would still go for my 1990 l98. Most of my driving is street and with the torque and overall peddle feel I’d have to choose the l98. If you’re more of a highway driver I’d probably recommend the lt1 as it will pull more on the top end. I also like the older body style so the 90 is a win for me. Stock vs stock 0-60 is about the same, but the lt1 will pull more up top compared to the l98. Although that is true, an l98 pared with a good intake and a full exhaust will be the same if not faster than the lt1 imo. I’m not completely biased against lt1’s. I’ve driven in them before. They definitely have power and pull more up top compared to my 90, but with what I have done to my 90 l98 I would smoke a stock and or slightly modified lt1. All I ask of you is do your research and find which one fits you. We all have our own opinions and I’m sure the lt owners will give me crap, but I love my 90 vette and I got this thing for only a few grand and it even came with an aftermarket sound system with a 10 inch sub and a backup camera.

[@rorsche]

Just say, 'avoid anything with crossfire;' which includes plenty of C3s. TPI were okay, but needed a lot of mods to keep up. Once LT's came out, Corvettes were moddable into screamers, with later models being pretty boss.

[@imjustanobody1233]

@@rorsche l98 with full exhaust and intake goes hard. Don’t sleep on em. I do agree tho. Lt1’s out the box do perform great.

If you need proof of how batshit crazy prices are, here’s one. I’ve owned 4 Camaros and 2 firebirds all ranging from 82 to 91. 2 Camaro RS with the 305 and 2 I-ROCs a firebird Formula with a FAST tpi setup and a 91 Firebird GTA. Most expensive one was the GTA at $1900 and she was mint. Had the special edition taillights and all. The second RS was $600 off of Craigslist. Only issues it had was a clogged fuel filter and faded paint on the hood. It’s still on the thirdgen website today. Meanwhile today we are talking about third gens under $10k just insane

[@jackrobichaud6899]

If you want an American v8 but perhaps not an American car for under 10k, Jaguar xjr. 4.0 supercharged v8 made by ford. One of the most reliable cars ever in my opinion, and this past weekend me and a buddy went and got one for him and drove it back 4.5 hours only stopping twice, but without a single issue other than the rear left brake light went out when we were 20 minutes from home. Very fast, comfortable, and fun as hell to drive for a 1998 bone stock car. And it hadn’t been driven in 2 years. Probably should’ve put new tires on it but they looked fine, held air, and didn’t pop while trying to pop them before we left and it drove amazing home. Great car

[@bjturner47]

(Before watching) 2011-17 Chevy caprice ppv better be on this list

[@S.C1970]

I actually did get an s197 gt for 7k a few months back. Now it does have 174k miles but yk still under 10.

[@nolife4002]

I had a 06 LS v8 and boy that car went through the ringer. Multiple owners beat to hell. I even gave up and for 6 months I was the smoking car guy. When the junkyard came get the car (donated) it still had power

[@quentonmillstid850]

That's an engine not a car?😂

[@vinyl_2784]

My father had an 01 LS and it was the worst car we've ever had. Underpowered and smoked real bad

[@rondematteo369]

That lS had the Jaguar 3.9 l same as the 2002-2005 Thunderbird, problemsome COPs, plastic intake parts, blend door problems etc, if you can get one cheap enough to deal with the future problems, buy it!

3 fast v8s under 10k i’ve seen recently are sn95 cobras 94-98 these ones make less power than the new edge cobras but weigh almost nothing comes with a supercharger on the 4.6 and are fun with manual. good luck finding a new edge cobra for under 10k tho, sts v 2006-2009 these come in the north star 4.4 with a supercharger, like the guy said in the video i’ve heard bad things about northstars aswell but makes a good 470 horsepower that’s a sleeper, last i’ve seen these under 10k with higher mileage are most srt 8 cars except the challenger and magnum this includes the charger,300,cherokee they come in a 6.1l hemi making a good 425 hp cherokee comes in awd and the others in rwd all these are fun fast cars i just wanna note that these are top of the line cars, paying under 10k with these most likely means you’ll end up paying a huge amount in maintaining them or fixing them up

[@LibertyDrives]

Awesome recommendations! I'm jealous if you've seen these for under 10k lol. I think those 95-98 Cobras were NA, but still great cars for the price!

[@thankful3161]

2004 GTO’s are the best cheap American (ish) V8 sports car imo.. you can find the 2004 5.7 LS1s for 10k or under.. yes the mileage will be higher but they are fun cars with 350hp/365tq and a T-56 6 speed.. I bought mine a few years ago for $6k with 125k miles.. 05-06 owners will tell you (without you asking btw) that the 2004s are stupid compared to their LS2 cars but a 2 door, 350hp, limited slip differential, 6 speed bullet proof tranny and an all American LS1 with massive aftermarket support for $6-$10k would be top of my list.. ty 🤘🏻

[@kennethpromo8946]

not in cali, they go for 15k

[@ch1n07]

Had a 2005 Lincoln LS V8 and it wasn’t the best car but would buy again as a project or weekend car not a daily

[@canaantravis]

My areas got S197’s for under 10k allllll day lol they’re def all over 170k miles but I mean still not a bad deal, just take care of it till you can afford a full engine rebuild and it’ll last

[@callforarchives]

The Continental has 260-275hp, and is fwd
