car to buy

[greydan]

Thanks for the input. Just read an artical about windsor vs clevland engines....ahahahha
well thats confusing.
Back to the car selection. Going back to an '85GT has it's merits in my mind. First, what I've seen available in the Detroit market, an '85 is closer to my budget. Woodward Dream cruise and all here, has raised anything that smells game, to pricey levels. But lesson learned. When I'm ready, I'll try to go out of the 'salt belt' to buy... South. Have grandkids in PA.& KY., and see few cars that have grung bodies like a 15 yr old Detroit car here. ...
Of course purchase price won't be the half of it, but a sound body would be a start.
What is available in retro to correct the rear-end and trans problems, or are they survivable under occasional green light gotchya's? (I'd expect to rebuild them up front)
Thanks again...
