Remember these are very simple cars, no ac, no anti-lock brakes, no computers, no, traction control, problems are limited to paint, body, engine, transmission are robust and cheap to repair and replace. I think you will find more issues with a new one, there is alot of sorting. Remember paint and body cost the most, engines are easily repaired / replaced. Most new SPF with stroked small block (Roush, KC) run in the low to mid $70's if you get the opitions which used to be standard like top and tonneau. You buy used from 53k to 60k, take the 12-17k saved to make any upgrades you may like (brakes, wheels etc)
