I want to build a Mad Max style rat rod, what American car should I buy for this project? It's gotta look cool and not be crazy expensive.

based project op.
i always wanted to do this.
The more famous Pursuit Special is a heavily modified Ford Falcon XB GT, built on a vehicle originally assembled stock at the Ford plant in November 1973. Maxwell "Mad Max" Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) is offered the black Pursuit Special, as an incentive to stay on the force as their top pursuit man after he reveals his desire to resign.

i saw a indie documentary of a guy in the US who built one off a Ford Gran Torino i think

Depends 100% on whatever 70s coupes are for sale around you and if you can afford any of them. If you're too retarded to even use fb marketplace, ebay etc there's nothing we can do for you besides calling you a fag

If you can find a rusted out shell for less than 50k then yeah, its a solid choice

Chill out anon, I just wanted opinions on what would be the best cars to look for. I remembered reading about that one you posted, found the story again (google Ghost Camaro). So badass, I hope it's real. Definitely the coolest car ITT.

Ford Escort maybe.

None. Stop ruining classics, you fucking nigger. Unless it's a complete basket case rusted to absolute shit.

cheapest pre 75 american v8 rwd car you can find. whatever tickles your fancy
I would just find something with the running gear you want and that runs first. then modify it. imo less is more when it comes to mad max aesthetic

Dodge Neon from the local trailer park. The previous owner likely already did half the work for you when it comes to looks.

Is this 2015 ? Those are almost always stupid over-the-top larpmobiles for geeky faggots. >>27587250 is right. The only way to make something alright is to salvage a scrapyard find, and make it road-worthy while not touching on the looks.

Someone in Australia built one with an S10

>>27586910
this is the most practical answer, you can even get one of those retarded donk suspension kits for it and throw some a/t's on there instead
>>
>>27585973
You could use pretty much anything. XB Falcon, 69 Camaro, Model T, an old 50s land barge. The latest movie even had an R32 Skyline
