I have 500 dollars to spend on a project car. Right now looking on Copart but need ideas. I have been thinking about maybe a 1999-2004 Ford Mustang or an older Bmw 740il.

    Mustang all the way. Even if Copart GAVE you the BMW 740, don't take it. Ask for credit.

    But if you only have $500, how in the world will you be able to repair a project car?
