78-83 Chevrolet Malibu. Still cheap to buy. You should be able to get by in the lower classes in SS on a small tire.

any third or fourth gen F-body

My vote would be the GM G-Body's. You have the Malibu's the Grand National and the Olds Cutlass. They are cheap and have ton's of bolt on parts that work.

My Cutlass with just a bar & belts will run either stock or super stock IHRA . You would need to dig in the engine to make it run NHRA SS

1st Gen Camaro with a well built 427 will fit both classes also a lot of front wheel drive cars will double up to.

Kevin My 95 Trans Am can run both stock and Superstock the way it sits and is under both indexes.. The price is right . Mike

'69 AMX 290 cu in 225 HP; ran it in M/S on 13.15 index, went 12.15, won two events.
Changed cam to .700 lift roller, massaged heads, Edelbrock "Torker" intake, "Quikfuel" 3310 Holley, 10.5" M/T's; run SS/M on 11.90 index, goes 10.60s in good air, won one event, so far. Almost always slowest car in eliminator, we leave first with very good driver.
