What to look for when buying an A body?

What is your plan? To restore it?

Just keeping mind do you have enough money to restore it even if it is solid?

99% of the people out there are better off buying a car that is done. I paid 16,000 for my current dart and it was done and show ready. I've since done a bunch to it but none of it was mandatory stuff. My last car I did ground up and I had about 30,000 into it and that was over a decade ago.

Considering what paint alone costs now a days unless you want to do a resto because you love doing such things it isn't financially worthwhile in one of these cars because the end value just isn't there, especially in a 72.
