Newbie here but not new to cars. Here is what I am looking for. I know a bit of what I want will not make sense or can be argued another way but think of it as a "wish list".
Years: 1986/1987 but much prefer 1987
Type: WE2 Grand National (I know equivalents can be had with other combos but I want a GN)
Top: Hardtop (Maybe can wiggle to a T-tops but I want a hardtop)
Color: Black (just kidding, seeing if you are awake)
Miles: Not really a huge factor, see next entry
Condition:
-Rust free would be a HUGE plus
-Paint solid but need not be perfect; great repaint job huge bonus
-I have given a ton of thought to this and while a vintage all stock car has so much history and magic to it, I want a well built/refreshed GN. I like "bullet proof" and by that I mean I don't want to inherit a headache. Upgraded parts and a tuned in car is highly wanted. 1/4 mile times and hp/torque numbers are not deciders, I am not going to race the car. You car types know what I mean, I should think. Turn key operation.
-Usage will not be a daily driver, but I do intend to DRIVE IT. As such a museum piece is no good. Drive from May to October. Garaged and then winter stored is the plan. Maybe ~2k-4k miles a year.
-Budget can be anywhere from 15k-28k depending on the car. Cash in hand but my accountant tells me to do a personal loan to not tie up that cash. Whatever. Payment not an issue.
-Time frame is this coming Spring-early summer. I am not buying anything right now, there is 6 feet of snow in my yard, get serious.
Feedback welcomed and know that I appreciate all the help and advice I have had from this board already. Really great bunch here.
