Bill,

You are wise to take your time ... there are FIAs out there and sooner or later the right car, at the right price, will pop up and you will be ready to pounce on it !

The problem is more me than anything else, I have a maximum ceiling of $40,000, some owners and I are just 2K apart, but realistically there is no way I can come up with the additional funds (and still pay taxes on the sale) any time in the foreseeable future. Sounds crazy, but I am realistic to my current economic issues (college tuition, business, and home wise)There are a few 427SC cars in the low 30's I'm considering, even one Unique FIA for 22K in NJ (now on craigslist), but needs a complete teardown and rebuild which I am unwilling to do on this car (I knew the last owner, this car was not taken care of from day one but is a good deal for someone who wants a project like that)......

here's a solution, buy a new f5 mk4, i'll trade you even up for the body, one of my FiA bodys, bolts rite on, tho in a few other trinkits and you could build just what you want for under $30k, as long as you don't go crazy money wise, and you'll have $10 k left over

That is the car, better hurry though as he is getting ready to take it to a place that offers "cash for cars"........
