I'm looking for a driver, not a show car or anything to restore. I've got almost no experience working on cars, just a little, but my dad's best friend is a restomod guy so I can probably hit him up for help with medium sized efforts and leave any serious work to a pro. I want a car that doesn't need any serious work though. Solid undercarriage with nothing more than surface rust, I don't mind if the floor pans or section of frame rails have been replaced, I have no interest in having matching numbers, I don't need any fancy mods, I just want a car that has style, and I think the pre-69 cougar is the most beautiful car ever. Metal top only, manual tranny ideally but I'm okay with an auto. In a dream world I'd find a '67 with a 289 that somebody did a great job on putting in a manual trans with OD. I've seen some pretty horrendous colors on old cougars, and I'm okay with that as long as it's super cheap so I can afford a new paintjob. My dream cougar would have a matte grey paintjob and a black hood. I don't wanna spend a fortune on the purchase or on the maintenance, so a solid runner with cosmetic issues is my most likely route to success I guess.
Thanks for giving me a forum to dream out loud.
