That would depend on condition. $2500 max to start. That should be one running.

Now you know why I suggested the location in your sig. :mrgreen: I hope it works out. A mutt for 2500.00 is probably going to be pretty rough, be sure to look very good at the undersides.

Thanks rickf
I did have talk with Bazooka joe. Nice guy,
I'm still looking He has a lot of parts and offered to help.
I know They are unibodys and are prone to rust out. I'm not afraid of work but I don't need excessive work.
Bazooka wants me to catch up with him . Right now there is a storm front moving in around here with zero temps promised wind chills expect to be 18 to 20 below? Brrrrr
I have his phone number and directions to his place.

We are not quite that cold here in NJ, hovering in the single digits to a couple below. Had to check a roof four stories up today, waaaaaay too cold!!!! With 40 MPH wind gusts at that. I need to retire.

Wow, they really jumped on me for suggesting that.

I can understand why rickf I went to the post office to mail a package and I couldn't believe the wind chill . The wind was about 18 to 20,
old glory was straight out on the flag pole and even us old people were moving at a brisk pace to get out of it. amazing and in a few days it will be about 35 to possible 40 deg
They always say around here if you don't like the weather hang around for a few minutes and it will change.

I don't know why any one jumped on any one.
Thank you rickf for letting me know. That was kind of you.
I thought I had filled it out. The heads up was truly welcome GerryM

My point exactly. I am not going to suggest a vehicle that is on the other side of the country unless the person is looking for a full on restoration, in that case money is usually not an issue. When people are looking for a project or have a price ceiling to stay under then shipping can be a deal breaker. There are plenty of 151's for sale all across the country to be able to get one within driving range.
