Sweet man.  What I pay entirely depends on the condition.  I am totally fine paying a little for one that needs a lot of work, or more for one that is in good shape.
Thanks for hunting for me.  I appreciate it.

Did you find one yet?  Mine is an 89, black cherry, red stripes, and aluminum rims from a Chrysler Laser (Daytona clone from the '80's) with white letter 235/60 R15's, and free breathing exhaust.  I LOOOOOOOOVE it.  It has had about $2000 in upkeep in the 151K I have had it, including a head gasket, and oil lines, fuel lines nad filters, brake calipers, rad, A/C comp, etc.  Even a new tranny. 

How do I like it?  With slight mods, being exhaust, wheels and tires, it runs 14 flat.  I am getting the hotter computer and an intercooler, with plans of hitting 13 flat with a basically stock turbo Caravan.  It has no woodgrain, and the paint looks great.  I will post pics, but you would be jealous.  I looked for one for ten years, as my FIL's BIL had one with a 5-speed I wanted, but he sold oit out from under me with nearly 300K, and my last turbo was a Plymouth Acclaim, that looked like a rental, but ran like a scalded dog. 

This van was owned by a preacher I knew, who passed away, and barely drove it.  I bought it four years ago with 40K, garage kept, and pampered.  I use it daily in my business of copiers, printers and fax sales and service, so it hauls machines, and runs deliveries and service calls.  I put the miles on it.  Nothing was done on it by the original owner but tires, and such.  I have done all the work myself, and love it.  It is really funny to dust a 'stang or fart can Honda and show them it is a four banger.  I even swapped a non-turbo cam cover on it to fool the unwary.  I am just looking for a bumper sticker that says "Got Boost?".  I love it and would not sell it, as I looked so long for one.  I know where there is one in south MO.  :-)PCRMike
