The number of V8 vehicles is dwindling, but there are still some cheap options out there

The number of V8 vehicles is dwindling every year , with only a few still rumbling away.

There are even a few (relatively) cheap options out there if you're willing to look.

The V8 's downfall was its poor fuel economy and ever-tightening stringent emissions regulations.

The Chrysler 300 was a bit of a unicorn in the automotive industry, a relic of a bygone era.

The cheapest V8 version of the Ford Mustang GT is 480 horsepower for just $45k with an optional manual transmission.

The next generation of the Dodge Charger R/T will skip the V8 in favor of the Hurricane inline-six and electrification.

The Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 are about $3,000 cheaper on base V8 trim.

The last model of the sixth -generation Camaro has already rolled off the production line.

The Camaro never had the fanbase that it did, despite offering a massive V8 and sports car handling thanks to its excellent chassis.

While you may be able to find some of these other vehicles for less, the cheapest model you can buy new with a V8 is the base Ford F-150 .
