Default Help me find a car.....

I'm looking for a '98-'99 Camaro. V6 Hardtop, no t-tops, with as few options as possible. Miles doesn't really matter as long as the body is in good shape. Keep an eye out at local used car dealers, local papers, etc. Let me know if you see anything

As little as possible, I'll even take one with a blown motor and a shot tranny as long as it looks decent and the the body/frame is good

Less than $4000, but I would rather not have to spend that much for a car I'm just going to strip. I have a friend who owns a couple dealerships, he's looking out for me at the auctions too, I might go with him to southern Auto auction next week if I have time... which is doubtful

A LS1 car might be better due to all the wiring ect.Also expect it to cost 2x what you think when your done with building the car.Little things add up fast.

A hardtop car with no options is alot harder to find than I thought. Most of them have t-tops with power everything.

I'm not pushing to sell it or anything but I would if someone offered to buy it. It drives me crazy making payments and wanting to mod it. Not looking for much for it.
