Best Bang for Your Classic Car Buck

1. Wheels and Tires. Easy and (sometimes) Cheap, wheels and tires are a great way to change the look of your classic Muscle Car. Aluminum wheels will reduce unsprung weight and help performance, low profile tires will also help performance.

2. Polyurethane bushings. I only recommend the urethane when talking about aftermarket control arms and sway bars.

3. Crate Engines. Especially when we are talking about “the usual suspects” like the 350 small block Chevy and the Ford 302. I would not trade an LS for an Olds 455.

4. Rear gear ratio. If you are driving the car a lot, you might consider losing the 3.73 or 3.90 in favor of a 3.00. It will help keep the RPMs down when you are going to out of town shows.

5. Patina. Like it or hate it. It ain’t going anywhere and can offer bang for the buck when you have a cool enough classic. We talk about when too much is really too much and what constitutes just right.
