Re: big man little car
List on my 14b was 425.00 at the junkyard, I told him I didn't want it,
Me: I don't think I like the Talon Turbo
Junkyard Guy: Why? Thought you said it's a nice size for what you want.
Me: Well the Saab turbo is only 150.00
Him: I can do 200.00 on the 14b
My 14b was like brand new. Looked like it got ran for 2 blocks. Try to talk them down

Chrylser Daytonas and Sundances.
Ford, Saab, Volvo, Early Nissan 300zx. These would be my choice now that I am more knowledgable. They are more common, easeir to upgrade, and easier to get rebuilds. I no longer like my 14b Talon Turbo.
As for a t-bird. Don't get a post '86 IHI Warner, a little small. Ideally a 84-86 T-bird auto would be best, or a 5spd. The 5spd will be a TINY bit more laggy, but make a slight more power.
