Hi John C.:

You may have to budget at least another 10 grand fot the basic car if the level of fit and finish that you want can be called your dream girl. Look at Kirkham, Superformance, Unique and Shelby from South Africa. Although I have not seen a Shelby from South Africa many have said that it should be a nice car.

With engine and transmission extra, you are in the vecinity of $60-$65,000. Good luck but do visit the dealers if you can.
