and where many concepts are born, far from the engineering laboratories of the world’s biggest automakers. Every day, in garages and shops across the country, friends and family members meet-up to have a few beers and turn some wrenches on their project cars.
A project car is typically considered as a vehicle that is purchased inexpensively and needs a bit of love in one form or another.

2. Nissan 240sx (1989-1998)
As an older Nissan model, the 240SX is a sports coupe that came with a manual gearbox and a rear-wheel drive configuration — making it a great example of an ideal project car for anyone looking for higher performance at a lower cost. There are plenty of these things floating around too, and prices can range from extremely cheap to atmospheric depending on what shape they’re in and what has already been done to them.
