72 to 74 b bodies can still be found for reasonable money. I have a 71 Charger roller for $2500 bucks. Typical New England car,needs all the usual stuff. I have the 75 Dodge van for sale as well. Trucks are still affordable.. I see people asking big money for smog era B bodies,but don't see them selling for those prices,Cordoba/Magnum/Charger cars.

I'd say the OP needs to quantify for himself what he considers a "muscle car", right ? For me, it's essentially '62 - '74, but younger folks have embraced later cars. And, you can install muscle if that appeals to you; that's traditional hot rodding.
If the OP's definition is more expansive/general, C-bodies, earlier A-bodies, wagons, lots of stuff can be cool if done tastefully. Might even consider the later-'50s stuff, though parts are tough, and mechanical updates are advisable. It looks like the days of '66-'67 B-bodies being under-appreciated are about over. The other reality is that nowadays you'll pretty much have about $30K in almost anything nice & done, unless you really get a deal. (Please feel free to prove me wrong on that !)
It's not just Mopars: look at garden-variety GTO, Chevelles, Mustang fastbacks - those have all become quite spendy.

For me it's my '89 Diplomat AHB. Plenty of factory HD parts and extra welds, bigger brakes, cooling, external oil, trans, and ps coolers, etc. and a RWD solid axle and T-bar suspension. I've had many and a hot small block like my current stroker one in pic makes for comfortable, powerful, and reliable driver that I swear gets more comments than anything I've owned.

This has been for sale locally for a month or so now. $3500 is the ask, but I don't know if the sellers been getting any bites or not.
