I am looking for a older car as a project...(especially if I get this job I am going for on wednesday)
Any way anyone have any ideas on what car I could find for resonably cheap and a resonable price... I want to use a older car but bring the new school style to it. So if anyone could shine some light, it would be appreciated.

How old?
There is a XY wagon in warwick for $5000, absolutely immaculate. I have a zephyr you can buy, 1954 Mk I 6cyl manual, needs paint, brakes, and a set of pistons. cya Ben |

That sounds great but I don't want to buy some one else's project... I would prefer to start from scratch even if it ends up costing more....

I reckon an XE would be better, its easier to legally get a V8 in them, and with the right ride height, something about those indictors screams tough...
XE + Injected 351 - Ride Height =  : A blower wouldnt go astray either (I would say a turbo, but they are more of a sleeper thing, and a good blown V8 hasnt been seen for many a year). *edit - left out a word or three* |

well buy my zephyr then... if you dont, its getting attacked by a few throttle bodies, EFI, and a dozen or so psi. Which are horrible things for cars to be subject too...
