    I need help finding a coupe!

    Ok fellas, I need some help finding a decent 5.0 coupe. I know a few of you are keeping your eyes out for Brandon. I don't have alot of free time to search for one so I need a little help from anyone who can spare some time.

    I'm going to swap my Novi and supporting pieces onto the coupe and probably sell my GT in the spring. I would like to spend around 3k and location doesn't matter. Miles aren't a huge deal as long as there is no rust and the body is straight. Mods are ok too. The big thing I'm looking for is a straight/rust free body. Also, I will consider a 4cyl and do a swap if the 5.0 market is dry.

    Thanks in advance guys, this really helps me out!

    Dan, In my opinion your best bet if you are up the the swap is a pristine 4 cylinder.

    1. How much abuse can one do to the body/frame of a 4-cylinder?

    2. Who in their right mind is gonna mod one and resort to #1?

    3. A 4 cyl. car has crap for resale ( cheaper for you!! )

    4. If you insure it you can run it under the rates for a 4 cylinder if ya don't get caught, lol.

    Steve: I bought my home in August (closed on 8/25). It's been over a month since I moved and I love it. Freedom to do whatever the hell I want whenever the hell I want. I've caught myself a few times just standing in the yard looking at what is now mine. There's such an overwhelming sense of pride.

    Sean: I was looking at a couple 4 cyl coupe's today and there are some real gems out there. I'm seriously considering a 4cyl (~$1500) for a swap. Finding one with less than 70k miles for that price shouldn't be a problem.

    Chuck: I'll have to snoop around up yonder and see what I can find!

    Brandon: You had to rub it in that you could spend more than me huh? ;) Showoff :D
