First look for quality in body and frame and interior finish as this is what you will see everyday and what people will judge your car on. Stay away from big big motors you dont need 500cu in in a 2200 pound car. I have raced cars and bikes for years and the average person will scare the hell out of them selves or there wife or passenger. Get a car that does it all and everything must be working for 50K to 60K purchase price. I bought a 1985 NAF 427 bodied Cobra last year for approx 40K it is a beautiful car but i need to sort out rear brakes .and wiper motor isnt working I will never use wiper motor but it should work as delivered in 1985.My motor is a bored out 351 clevland with 4 speed top loader and Lincoln Versilles rearend with 3:80 ratio so its a rocket in traffic but reves too high at 75 MPH.Never over heats steers great and Is fun to drive if you dont have fun in the car why own it?Good Luck drive the hell out of what ever you deciede to purchase to make sure it correct for you.Lawrence Spillman 60 years of hotrod building.
