Youre OBVIOUSLY young and not in any position to buy any kind of old car that would need any work done to it. Keep what you have and dont worry about buying a Camaro until youre set a little bit better financially. Take the money youre saving and open an IRA, youll be light years ahead....

My first car was a new 55 Chevy V8. Glad they don't make them like that anymore. lol

100k miles and to the junk yard??? You must have lived in areas where they did not use road salt because 100k cars were rare in New England. We used bumper jacks and I remember on more than one occasion cars about 5 years old having the bumper rip off because of rot when trying to change a tire.
I can't recall the name but when growing up there was this national chain which did undercoating which was basically tar or something they sprayed everywhere and it did jack squat. When I got my first car it had that stuff underneath it and you would need to scrape it off to get to things

Ziebart and Polyglycoat were the names of the popular ones.
