New guy with basic questions

[Emurph]

Thanks, I read the link. Very good stuff.
More detail about what I would like:
Sunday cruiser would be the best description of what I want. It would never see the rain so no need for a top or heat or wipers or any of that useless stuff. I would occasionally take it to a local show or two not likely to see a track either.
Budget wise I would like to be around 40??
I'm not a mechanic. I don't want a project. I want a car I can jump in and go for a ride and look super cool doing it! I fully understand these are not like my Vette I don't think I want something built on top of a regular mustang but may not fully understand or appreciate the concept, I like the idea of a "newer" car with modern power. I will research a local club and see what that yields sounds like a great idea! Still trying to get my head around the differences between these different brands. I saw a Shelby American that is probably way out of my budget and ive seen Backdraft and factory 5 and many others. Thanks again for all the feedback
