Not Ranked
You can buy a used one for less than it will take to build one in most cases. If your set on building your own the prices are going to run from around $15 K for a basic kit (add engine transmission, wheels, tires, paint, many, many misc parts) up to probably around $80k for a roller Kirkham (add engine, transmission and paint only if you don't like bare aluminum bodywork).
There is everything in between - pallet cars, rollers, including fully finished - ready to run cars (Superperformance, Backdraft) and custom built - ready to run cars (ERA, Unique) etc.
You need to decide how authentic a car you're wanting. Is performance your main goal? What type of engine do you want.? Are you wanting to customize it to your own image? Solid rear axle or IRS?
Give us an idea of your budget range and you will get lots of suggestions here.
