This is is outside of your budget but you may be better off spending a little more for a really solid start. It is a very desirable Boxwood green U14. The best part is that it was sold new in AZ and is a completely rust free original body with the original paint so no hidden issues. Is uncut but the rear fender lips have been rolled for tire clearance which is an easy repair. It has the bench seat and bulkhead but no top.
I have gone through the brakes, fuel, front suspension, shocks etc. It has a healthy 302 with floor shift 3 speed. It has power steering added as well as a Hellwig sway bar. It has brand new BFG K02 tires and a 3.5 inch lift. I really did not want to restore it as the Patina is so cool but if you are looking for a project, this will save you a lot of cost and work to get you further ahead. I would take no less than 35k and surely will regret selling it.
