The Camaro's are nice, personally I prefer the front end on the '67/68 and the vent windows on a '67. Camaros should generally be cheaper than mustangs (which are also cool) Camaro's are small and relatively light, but they also don't have a frame running all of the way through which I kind of like the idea of in a car like that. Get a Chevelle, Malibu (same thing) or Monte Carlo from the late 60's - early 70's. They are even cheaper than a camaro and have as many or even more aftermarket parts. From a price perspective stay away from Dodge, Pontiac (unless it has a Chevy motor), Oldsmobile, Buick. The parts for these other brands cost an arm and a leg compared to a Chevy. Get him something with a manual tranny. Even if it's a 3 speed, you can put a floor shifter in it and even convert it to a 4 speed down the road if it's not already.

Before I bought my 911 I was actually going to buy a Chevelle, until i discovered that I could afford the 911.
