Not Ranked
I've always sort of kept it to four basic questions:
Fiberglass or aluminum body?
Round tube or square tube frame?
Independent rear suspension or live axle?
Perfect body dimensions to original or is there "variance" from the original tolerated?
Answering these four questions will usually sort out a very long list into a very short one, making the resulting group easy to make a choice from.
For me, it was fiberglass (can't fit aluminum into the budget), IRS was a must, round tube frame was a must, and a body as close to the original as possible within budget. That left me with a short list of Shelby, HiTech and Contemporary. I found a Contemporary in terrible shape for a reasonable price that I'm restoring from the frame up. Hopefully this helps you, good luck and enjoy - the hunt is as much fun as the catch.
