Appearance of a MuscleCar without being one?

Hello, I know this question may be terrible for many, but nevertheless I throw it into the room: In advance I am an absolute newcomer, so please don’t stone me directly. Unfortunately, I still have no/low experience but fortunately someone who screws a lot with cars but almost exclusively VW from oldtimer to “normal” and would support me. It’s about the following, visually I like in general Muscle Cars very much, whereby I myself the more expensive BMWs nic As a student, I don’t get the money to buy me a “real” pony car, and I’m especially looking for something to “screw” and I came up with the idea if it’s not possible to get my “problem” from the other side. If I’ve read this correctly, there are some of the pony cars “drilled” variants of series cars. Are you looking for cheap cars that resemble the Muscle Cars (I know there are some under categories)? it can be built into a corresponding chassis “simple” a weak engine e.g. from a golf? To make it clear again, I would like to have a car, which is optically reminiscent of the MuscleCars but inexpensive. It does not need to have a strong engine (on the contrary, I would much rather have a economical one). It doesn’t matter if it is really a US car or of which brand or similar I am tolerant. It doesn’t need H license plates (of course would be economical + H , but that’s even more unreliable than the rest I guess) As long as it remains cheap it wouldn’t bother me if you had to remodel some parts there, it just doesn’t make sense for me if the money then disappears into the conversion parts but the rest was cheap. I’ve already read that it probably doesn’t look so great with spare parts anyway, does this only concern “original” parts? I know that this is very blue-eyed but nevertheless I have the hope that there may be As I said, time and a helper with access to tools and the experience of installing motors and gears I would have at hand, “only” the change seems to be the problem Greetings
