How much car?
You can get 40-70k mile stock in great condition Fbodies for 7-9k and have 4k left over for mods or you can get a heavily modded in similar condition for 11-13k (H/C/I/E/12bolt++++)
you can get a damn good one for that price... low mileage, newer (01-02), everything should be in excellent shape physically and mechanically, and it will probably be modded fairly well (wheels, suspension, maybe a built motor, etc) or you can do as head hunter suggested which is a great idea also... just boils down to if you want to buy a car that is already done or do it yourself... just take your time until you find the right one

According to your sig you have an 00 T/A? You want another LS1? 
Honestly, nowadays, LS1's are a dime a dozen, you can find them under 10k, if you look hard enough, and if I were you I wouldn't settle for anything over 10k, and use the rest for mods.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
where you coming from? i'm leaving again at the end of this month. what i did when i came back was had my TA sold and bought a C5Z. step up to a vette, they are completely different. WAY better than the f-bods.
I sold the TA back a few months ago. I am pretty tall and I didnt like how I sat so high in the car. Im in New Jesery heading to Al Udeid in Jan for the second damn time. I would only have 13K (wife) to spend on a car. I would really like a vette, but the ones that are in my price range are 98's with 150K miles. When I get back, (July) I will be buying a car, but I will only have 2 weeks of leave then Ill have to go back to Jersey (parents live in Houston).
