If you want a warmed over car that's what I'd be looking for, another thing would be 8 1/4-3/4 rear, big bolt pattern with front disk, best to buy with the driveline you want if you can especially if your not up to the swap. You start with your wish list but got to be pretty open. I bought a Yellow 68 Valiant not my 1st choice body style and color, but meet my main requirements solid body decent interior and driveline and right price.
that's part of the problem, his criteria is so narrow that he's effectively eliminated a broad swath of available "inventory".

then, when something does present itself he gets all nit-picky about the dumbest things

so he's in this vicious cycle of analysis paralysis: this car doesn't have a 727, or a 8.75, i don't like the very easy to reverse changes the PO did, that's too much money! and so on and so forth.

the cars are out there, if you're willing to do the work and most critically, have the money. which are both suspect on dan's end.

there's also the whole champagne and caviar wants on a natty lite and BK budget attitide
