If you are more familiar with GM go with GM products.
If you are more familiar with Chrysler go with Chrysler products.

Chevelles, Camaros, and Barracudas (did you mean 'Cuda?) are all nice cars, but are also very expensive to find one that isn't trashed out. Personally if you like GM cars, I would try to find an old first gen (62-65) Nova (Chevy II) or a BOP car (Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac) as they are just as fun to work on and much easier to afford. If you are looking into the Mopar side, try an old Duster or a Valiant, or even an old bubble-back Barracuda. If you are willing to think blue oval, then try a 65-68 Mustang. There are tons of them still around for decent prices (for the coupes anyway) and the aftermarket is flooded with parts for them. Try to find a car that is well supported in the aftermarket and you will be much happier. Cars that are uncommon are harder to get parts for, but for me, I love the satisfaction I get fixing up a car that hardly anyone else sees anymore. FYI my current project is a 78 Pinto! Try getting aftermarket parts for that!

How mechanically inclined are you? How much time do you want to spend chasing parts? If the answer to either question is "not much" then choose a car to fix up that has a ready supply of aftermarket parts. Don't pick a 1951 Dodge because the parts are hard to come by. Pick a 1951 Ford or Chevy instead. See what I mean? Easiest cars to do...mid 60's GM muscle...tons of NOS and reproduction parts available.

All three are nice cars to restore, most of what you want to get is up to you and which one you like the most, plus anymore all 3 are getting harder to find especially the Camaro and Cuda'. My advice to you would be to start with something small (chevelle) to get your feet wet then work your way up to a big job (Cuda'). Restoration projects can get quite expensive so beware.
Good luck..

1969 Buick California GS convertible.
Be sure you have the time and money. I didn't when I started my '55 Desoto Fireflight. I had to sell it half way finished.

well if you want to start restoring a car i would start with a corvair, you can find them cheep and the parts are readily available. they are also very fun cars to redo. they have catalogs and clubs all over the us that make it an easy car to fix up. i have seen them restored to their classic style and also have seen them very modernized!
