What would be the model/year to get and how much should I be paying? I know they can be bought for cheap.. so all I'd have to really expense is insurance.

we spend alot of time fixing/repair/undoing alot of other "shops" work

the car i am currently working on is a 68 427 vette 4 speed, all numbers matching

it was "restored" to the tune of 65k bucks before it came to our shop, and its a mess....
missing bolts/screws, hacked up wiring, non functioning wipers and popup headlights, would not idle, carbs were leaking from someone attempting to rebuild them, it was sad

but monday ill dial it in, and already fixed the other issues, and its as good as new

Some very nice cars there. I love that SS572 Chevelle and the LP640 looks great in that color.

niiiiiiiiiiice. Your shop has nice variety. The trouble with visiting Saleen or any other car factory is that there are only a couple of different types of cars there.
