First car! Need ideas, suggestions?

My budget is ~$6000. No more then 6500. I either abig truck or a stick shift car. No ford truck cause there ugly af. It's my first car so most of you know, its about the looks as of now although i am sure ill regret that later. Just want a few suggestions and such. I like the look cars such as the honda ccord sport, and i also really like old muscle cars but its impossible to find a cheap, working muscle car. Althought these are obviously way out of my price range. I am willing to do things such as, smoke windows, lift/lower, paint rims ect… Doing this would take me out of my price range but those can be done later on. Just throw some ideas out.
