Again I am not sure what to look for in these cars, I know a couple are out of my price range completely but thought I would share.
Just wondering as you all would know what to look for do any of these seem "good" cars?

Not bad..I know that '86 in eckerty...dont buy that one lol.

anyways, a couple yrs back it was on craigslist by a different owner in bloomington,in..the dude advertised it as a 410 hp 307 with high pro cam, high compression, lots of engine work, 4.10 gear, etc..I always thought, 307 with over 400 hp? ya right lol

well a week later, a guy here in bedford,IN bought it and a saw him @ the local walmart and got behind him in mine.
I wanted to see what it had. needless to say my car beat it off the line with 2.41 gears and a stock 350 rocket and left him in the dust down highway 37. the guy that was tryin to sell it then was a conartist, saying it had all that hp on a 307.

after we raced dwn the highway, i followed him into a parking lot and checked out the car, it had stock 7a heads, stock everything...lol. I think the guy was so upset with the car, because the nxt week it was back on the market...this guy must of been the one who purchased it off of him..lol, just had to throw that out there.

dnt get it, the fender wells, floor pan and all r rusted out bad
 
IDK why everyone is so against you getting this car offbat, but you have to go see it first. I flip cars for a living, and trust me, when somebody claims that everything is rebuilt and there is zero issues, there usually is sh*t wrong. If, and only IF, the car is just as you describe (highway ready, no leaks/smoke/odd sounds, motor rebuilt, no frame damage, etc) 1500 without the bags is a good deal all day, as is 2500 with the bags. Good luck, I'd at least check this ride out before you 86 it just because everyone wants to assume there's something wrong with it. You might have to turn around and walk in the end, but who knows, somebody just might need money BAD and you might get a deal of a lifetime! Happens to me all the time.

Wow what being on here can tell you, I appreciate that Evan so much.
It looks very nice in the pictures, I guess the power of a computer fooled me once again!
Thanks for saving me.
