Thinking of a Yank as 2nd car

Hi grew up with American cars and had a Camaro 20 odd years ago.
Is there anything around 5 grand thats worth considering? 80s cameras seem to have jumped up in value since i last looked, not sure what Im really interested in but will know what Im not.
Is my budget too low?

I like that! Funnily enough I'm always watching that shape supercharged Mustangs on youtube.
Anything in particular go wrong with those ( I've paid out and still am on my BMW so don't fancy repeating that again)

Thanks, Im going to the AACI at Billing Aquadrome in April as well, see whats for sale.
Although it would be a 2nd car i agree it shouldn't be a problem using them daily. My Dad ran a 1980 Trans Am SE with handling pack + 4 wheel disc brakes in 1983 onwards as his only car. One of my best mates had a late 60s 6.6 Le Mans on L plates.
I particularly like very late 60s - early 70s big 2 door sedans, Plymouth Fury etc but they're out of my budget .

Thanks, just paid another £500 plus another £120 due on Friday on this BMW. Absolutely sick of it.
Ive always been one to praise american cars over European , simpler stronger build/technology. Should have taken my own advice. MPG put me off but even that would have been way less than what I've paid out in repairs in the last 11 months!

Completely different car but would a 2000s 2.7 diesel Grand Cherokee be worth considering?

Hi, was yours a V8 ?

My Mustang got 25mpg around town and 35mpg on a run. I was quite happy with that.

The supercharged truck I have doesn't.

Don't really know anything about diesel Cherokees but I don't think it will feel particularly American, if that's what you are looking for.

I had a look on a UK Mustang forum yesterday and saw a thread where someone was asking about getting a SN95 as a daily driver. One answer was "if you don't mind paying £25- 30 per day in fuel" . I remember spending over a tenner a day 26 years ago in the camaro.
I think I was thinking that the Grand Cherokee would be my only vehicle whereas the Mustang etc would be a second car.
