Default 86 GT or notch?????

I currently have an 86 GT 5.0, I have a 429 to swap in the machine shop. Should I keep my 86 or get an 87-93 notchback. I like my car, but notchbacks look bayad, plus it's easier to find the hood I want (5" full length cowl) and I wouldn't have to mess with the hatch. Let me know what you would do. Also, if anyone has an 87-93 notch they want to sell or trade, let me know. I want a coupe w/solid body-good paint job(preferably black). It can be a 4cyl, I'll trade or buy. You can e-mail me at astrohell85@hotmail.com

I wouldn't get rid of the 86, unless that is really what you want to do. I'd hold on to that and pick up a cheap 87-93 coupe four banger, they can be had for cheap. I mean you could get one for $700 in decent shape. You could pay more or you could run across one with a bad engine/tranny/both for $300(who knows)... look around bro... they are easy to find.

I've always been partial to coupes, so you know what my answer would be
