Muscle car look with out muscle car price?
I'm getting my first car soon since I've been saving up since I was 14. I'm only 16 and I have $3000. I love the muscle car look ( picture the new chargers or ford gt's, mainly the front end, I'm looking for that look, even the older muscle cars front ends are great (I like the rest of the body too but the front end is what really gets me liking the look. So basically I'm looking for a car with that look (not nescesarily needing the power) but also with reliability and affordability (under $3000) is that even possible to find and if so what car?

You are going the wrong way for a first car. If you are a good driver you have a 60% chance of wrecking it the first year, 80% in the first three years, the result of the steep and unforgiving learning curve for driving in traffic. You want something disposable, something you won't cry about in the very likely event you see it hauled to the wrecking yard. I always recommend an older (2005+) Ford Focus: cheap to buy, cheap to own, cheap to feed and cheap to insure. After you get three years experience behind he wheel and are not so likely to wreck it, you can get the car you want.
Muscle car look with reliability and affordability for $3,000? Dream on.
Find an 6 cyl mustang. In the 1970s there was the 4 cylinder Mustang II.
And the optimal example for you would be the 1978 Ford Mustang King Cobra, but you might need a bit more than $3000 for it…

What was special about this one is that it was nothing but pretty bodywork, the engine had no performance pieces and was a 135hp gutless wonder.

- How much upkeep do classic muscle cars require? I have loved classic American muscle cars all my life and have finally got to a stage where I can afford one. But I don't want to invest if I won't have the time to keep it in top working condition.
