Dad had a '66 when I was young and I LOVE these and want to have one again one day (soon I hope).
I'm not really into 4 wheeling or mud or anything hardcore...
I think I want something with a mild lift, maybe 2.5" - 3.5" and some larger tires. I want something simple that will look good and be fun to drive with the top off in the summer.
Is it better to "buy a nicer one" that someone has restored in the $5k - 7500 range or better to buy a cheap one and upgrade?
Due to my nature, I will probably tinker with it over time.
Also, I enjoy tracking my Mustang Cobra. Would it be possible to tow this thing to events? I'm guessing 5000-5500 lbs. I know they are short wheelbase and aren't ideal, but I would take it easy.
How hard is it to find one these days?
Thanks! Looking forward to hanging out here, seems like a good board.
