lots of wheel options on those cars and they didn't stay the same as born with...
i would look for the best condition car for your range or even $5000 more dollars
because you would end up paying more than that for the repairs to make a fixer upper
car worth $5000 more in value...
rust repair and paint are huge time consuming and costly expenses..
so you may want to consider traveling to a likely car candidate or having an expert look at the car prior to biding on it.
being that the cars are so old it is possible that many repairs were done at different
levels of competence/quality. so definitely beware of hidden issues...
on the good side; most all parts are available to repair any problems that need addressing.
like the gauges, down below the dash; shift works makes gauges that fit in the dash to
replace the idiot lites or inoperative factory gauges...
are you going for an SS or would a nice malibu, 300 model chevelle, or el camino be acceptable??
