Did alot of that in my teens and twentys, but now I'm 54, and it seems like I'm always busy. (just haven't figured out, what I'm alway busy at) But anyhow, thanks in advance.

#1 What can I expect for that kind of money.
#2 There are alot of manufactors, any to stay away from.
#3 Big block/Small block
#4 Suspenion types.

Personally I prefer having IRS which lead to my Contemporary, ERA also is a IRS set up and I think they're both tube frames - good for stability/less flex. I also wanted a small block due to having a 427 Vette years ago that got between 4-6 MPG.
Seems like a fair amount of good deals right now but look throughly at what you're buying because you never know if a knucklehead built it and if corners were cut.
