Thank you for the compliment, the camera doesn't show her blemishes... and she has her share but that comes with 33 years of use I guess.

As far as price and condition, the old addage fits the bill, "you get what you pay for." Us east coasters got it tough. The ones in good shape bring a premium price tag too. Everyone here will tell you to "start with the best car you can afford" and it is true. If you start with a rust bucket you could lose sight of the end product and never really get to enjoy it before you throw in the towel.

From what I have seen $3500 - $8000 will get you a great starter. The biggest thing for me was solid floors and frame rails with a mostly, if not entirely, complete package. Mine ran me $5k-ish plus shipping, and I am very happy with what I got. The PO took good care of it and drove it regularly - to the tune of 290,000 miles. The engine tranny and rearend are the original units, the Z is the exact color I wanted 901 Orange with black interior and the 4spd. I hope your search goes as as well as mine did, although it did take nearly 3 years, but I was picky.

If you end up buying one and need to have it shipped I recommend Dependable Auto Shippers... good price and great service... although FedEx ships cars too and their turnaround is quicker but higher price.
