I’m leaving it broad to see if anything comes up.

I’m primarily looking for a good platform. I care much more about **body condition** than mechanical condition.

Something that has seen **no winters** , been in no major accidents, and has a clean title.

I’m willing to put in some time, but don’t want to spend a fortune on parts to get something running.  
Bad paint, small dents don’t bother me. Actual body damage and hacking does bother me (even if it has been repaired).  
If it’s a model that was available with targa/t-tops I want them. Generally not interested in the hard-top version of one of these cars.

**NO FWD**.  
I’m only interested in cars with manual transmissions, but I guess if its an auto I can swap it unless its really not economical to do so.
