Looks like i would need to find correct rims, fix heater core and some minor body paint.

Where do i find out about car transport? Is there somewhere on this site that has that info?

Just google car transport. There is a site where people will bid on the job. Make sure they and you are insured and they take before and after pics.

I se that it's a California car...Depending on where you live, and how long you're willing to wait, shipping a car will be between 1-2k for a open carrier. I paid 650 to have the Monster shipped to Birmingham from Arizona
, and elected to wait I'll there was a carrier going my way.

$650 is not bad. How long did you wait?

Being patient will be the best thing you can do. That cobra is ok in my opinion, but for that price you could do better.

I like this these cars. If you could get either for around 7-8k you would be have a nice ride for half the price of the cobra.

i"m looking for vibrant red and don't want to paint - if possible due to the $10K price tag for quality paint job

I found this one on Autotrader. No pics of engine bay or undercarriage. Seems expensive!

$10k is a lot for that car. Unmolested with half those miles, I might could see $10k.

That looks like a pretty decent option. It has a lot of original junk most people didnt keep like the shade and net in back. If you are close, I would go look that over for rust and seriously consider it.

I kinda like that car. $10k seems a touch high. I might do $8k on it

Not difficult to clean and restore to stock.

Keep the headers though.

Edit: Nice Hot Air Intake

Pretty stock. I see headers and the cold air intake, but other than that it looks pretty original...just dirty with peeling paint.

Not the engine bay I'd ecpevt to see in a $10k car.

Wait, isn't that the AC compressor that's peeling bad along with the intake?
