Hi Edward1250,

Th other day I saw on Craigs List a 1970 2000 for sale in Medina, Ohio. I do not know if it is still available. IIRC he needed tio get rid of it to make room in his garage. It did not look to bad from the pictures. It was Craigs list out of Cleveland.
May be give it a look.

Hope it works out! Personally, I like the low windshield cars though.

Yeah? .....and your point is? :mrgreen:

Seriously, review the information on this site, figure out if you want early low-windshield/flat dash model, or the late high-windshield model. Additionally, unless you're looking for a long-time project, pay as much as you can for as complete a car as you can find. I passed on a $4k driver for a $2.5 project. 4 years later, I'm almost to $4k and the car still sits on jackstands.

The red 66 is mine, on Ebay. It's not a bad car at all, and it runs and drives. In reality, put in an interior and drive it, fix it next winter. I have a local guy supposed to look tomorrow, and Ebay ends Sunday.
