I kinda like that t-topped '85.
The pics aren't showing the parts of the strut towers that rust....
Maybe you should just throttle back for the winter, save your money and look again in the spring? That way you'll have the cash to jump on one if you find one you really like. Just a thought. Dont buy one just to get one. You've been there/done that and don't need to make another mistake. Again just my thoughts.
Reminds me of when I was 18 and I was looking for my first real car . Not the one my mother got me that I destroyed after one month. Buick LeSabre heavy and not fun. The first car I saved and wanted bad . Cant remember what kind , but I would not sleep and it would consume me . I get that with my fox now at 55 . It happened with my Momo steering wheel . I knew it was going to be good , and it was!!!
Dont you have complete car pics of the t-top car??
