I don't plan to minitub the car or do any extensive fabrication. After building my last car, I have a better idea of what I want.

Nothing fancy becasue I'm going to beat the living crap out of it, but nice.

I'll know the right car when it comes along.
Race oriented PT, gonna drive it on the street, would like to preserve resale, no mini tub....

In your shoes (I'm not) I'd get as nice a restored car as you can with as little specialty motor/suspension/brakes as possible, unless the perfectly modded car came along at the right price.

There's something to be said for a car that's got a documented history of rust repair, paint done/clean bottom, all the niggly stuff that you would otherwise have to purchase. Mod as you see fit and do BOS/Payback style refresh when you're ready to move it.

You're a pretty linear dude and I know you'll find exactly what you're looking for...
