I’ve collected several old cars over the years and while they never all run at the same time, I do enjoy having them. But it is not at all unusual for people to ask me how they can get into the hobby when cars seem to go for such big dollars. I’ll admit that when people ask I completely understand because you can’t get into a ’69 Camaro for cheap, but if you are willing to go for something a bit later model like an ’80’s ride then you can probably find something to make cool. But what I often forget is the less popular and desirable classics, which is a horrible thing to miss.
After all, there are less popular classic models from GM, Ford, and Mopar that would make cool cars to drive and enjoy and that can be had for relatively cheap when compared to the more popular models.
In this video Tommy Lee Byrd, the Hot Rod Hoarder, is going to tell us what he thinks is the perfect option for someone on a budget trying to get into a classic. Check it out.

Looking for a cheap classic car that you can drive every day? A 1960’s Plymouth Valiant or Dodge Dart is the perfect option. They’re cheap to work on, cheap to operate, and fun to drive! My dad recently bought this car from a friend…he got a super good deal on it, but you can typically find these cars for less than 5 grand. This one was an even better value because all of the mechanicals are in such good shape. The previous owner went into great detail to rebuild the brakes, fuel system, and ignition and also put a new set of tires on it. This is the PERFECT entry-level classic car that ANYONE can afford.
