With\u00a0prices ranging anywhere from under\u00a0$10k to the high teens for a\u00a0daily driver, a second generation Firebird is\u00a0a great budget (or even entry-level) classic car, especially if you’re looking for performance and\u00a0<\/em>cool. Think: Smokey and the Bandit cool. A\u00a01977 Trans Am that was given to Burt Reynolds (after being used as a promotional vehicle for the film) recently sold at a Carlisle Auctions event<\/a><\/strong> for $170,000. Not too shabby. Of course, that’s out of our price range… but, there are plenty of affordable Firebirds out there.

If you’re looking for a classic car, and you’re on a limited budget, it\u2019s time to think \u201coutside of the box.\u201d Choosing one of these more affordable classics may be the solution for you. Of course, there are a number of other options available that can fit your particular style (maybe you’re more into the V-Dub scene). Remember, just because a car is less popular doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a lesser vehicle. It may just mean that you get a great deal.<\/span><\/p>\n
