Always liked the Monte Carlo SS and Grand National.

Been looking in the north east (NYC, Long Island, CT, NJ, PA) for a clean car to do an LS swap to. To save on costs, I am thinking of finding a clean roller instead of a clean running car.

Do you guys suggest going with a roller instead, given that I ultimately want to LS swap it?

What other things to look for when buying these cars? I want to avoid floor rot, rear fender rot, lower door seam rust, basically any rust if possible. I also want a hard top and not a T top. Any other common rust issues?
