This is where I got the good advice to choose "buy" over "build":

Budget? Looking for a project, based on my $5-10k budget. I'm reserving a healthy portion for working on the car I buy. That said, I'm adding about 1k/month to my budget. I figured it might take at least a few months to find what I was after. My highest priority is the cleanest body I can afford. |

Chris -- thanks for posting this one! Of the two cars, I'd actually like to know more about the 1974 parts car. If it's solid and the guy will include one of the two transmissions he has (and any of the "extra parts" he mentions that it might need), I might be more inclined to buy that one. Might you have time to take a look at it this week, in person? |

There are many members near there.
@Tygaboy is in that area and seems to be a very helpful and knowledgeable member. Possibly pm him or post in the garage a request for someone local to look at it for you. Good luck with your search |

@SavingManuals - I'm in Petaluma and happy to help. PM me and we can work out a date / time to go take a look. Chris Thanks for offering Chris. I apologize, but this is an example of me getting myself distracted from what I should be focusing on: a decent driver that doesn't need as much as work as either of those two cars. Let's hold off unless/until I spot one in your area that's a realistic option for me to buy. Again, thanks for your help! |

Thanks for your help.
I just got a shipping quote from one of the online brokers and it may be $2k or more to ship from CA to Michigan. I may need to wait a while to get a car from that part of the country |

Just saw a 3 owner Copper with extras in Denver, CO on FB 914World yesterday, but it might have sold quickly. Check it out, you never know.
