Default Camaro time......

Okay i really hope i am putting this thread in the right place if not mods feel free to move it .

well yeah just as it says camaro time....in a few years. okay i once again have changed my mind (as i seem to do daily) about what i want to get after college. I really want to get into another F-body or Formula. I am really wondering just about how much money i should be saving to buy a car in about five years from now..ish. here is a list of what i would like just a rough estimate is all i am really asking for. and dont tell me to buy an LS1 or something cause i don't want one okay so here is the list

1994-1996
Black
T-tops
LT-1 (duh) A4 transmission
any of the models (SS, Z28, Formula, Firebird Formula........etc)
car should have around 100k on it
good running condition and decent interior and such

basically looking for a decent car i can make reliable and take to chadapalooza and camaro super fest in a few years down the road. i am saving now and just curious about how much i am looking at. eventually i want to rebuild the engine and tranny and whole set-up in the car and turbo it, but that will be many years away just want a good car to start off of.

thanks for your help everyone
vince

figuring that the oldest LT1's will be 19 years old, and that the newest will be 15...i would say that you'd be able to pick up a nice 100k LT1 for 5,000. I see nice LT1's now for sale for like 5-9k, so figure in 5 years they will depreciate even further and you should be able to pick up a very clean one for like 5.
