PML - if you want an 8-15K hobby car, you are looking in the wrong place.

All I can think of in that range is a Fox body mustang. Or something that is really rusty.

If you want one in that range, expect work. My 84 was 7500. I've put a ton of work into it.

New alternator
Reconditioned fuel injectors
all new hoses
new plugs/plug wires
new cylinder head temp sensor
new heater hoses
all new interior - carpets and trim (except for seats)
rebuilt autoheat module
all reconditioned instruments from NHS w/ LED upgrade
Re-wrapped steering wheel
New windshield
targa body stiffeners
re-built targa top from Dan
All new windshield gaskets
New door pockets
new door pocket tops
Wevo coupler
Factory short shift kit
seine gate shifter
new trunk carpet
rennline blower cover
rennline strut brace
new sylvania headlights
new sugar scoop inserts
new turn signal lights - front and rear
new paint - guards red
new bbs wheels
new tires

and I will probably have the engine rebuilt this year.


So - you can buy a 30 K car and do nothing, or you can buy a 7500 car and put some money in it. Up to you.
