So I have officially cast my vote on the motor, and called all my credit card companies to get cash transfers to make this happen. As an accountant I don't advise this practice. As a gear head, I have to say I have more credit than I know what to do with, and its all at 0% stated interest, so there.
I looked at the '97 I mentioned above. The car is PERFECT. 30,9xx miles, $9,9xx. Five speed, cloth interior (no sitcky back, yippie), 16" rims (more comfy ride) Laser red over grey. Stock everything, just had 30k service with records. Get this, little old lady owned it. Had everything from an Rx-7 to an SS 396 chevelle.
Car runs great, and I would be stupid to pass this up. Comparably priced cars have more then 2x the mileage, and are more beat up. One had the 5spoke 17's but they ride harher for everyday duty.
I know I sound like an old man, but I am. I'm calling her in the morning to put down a deposit and come back with the rest in 36 hours. Now I just need to unload the other two.
By the way, I did drive both mod and pushrod cars this weekend. I know the go fast parts for the 302 are easier, but I don't plan on modding this anyway. There is something special about rolling in a 5.0 (with the ragtop down so my hair can blow) if you know what I mean.
Either one would get the job done, and as a whole the best car I found had the 281 cammer. So hopefully my sig will change this week.
