[V8] What to look for in a V8

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Exactly!  Except, I think that any rust belt cars deserve extra
scrutinization for fuel line and brake line and other non-galvanized
fasteners for corrosion.  Not a problem with cars that have frequent
under-body-carriage car washes.

...I think that the bottom line to the bottom line is to buy the BEST
cosmetic
example that you can find and buy it as cheaply as possible, and then plan
to spend the long dollar on the mechanical makeover.

Also, with the amount of galvanization used in these cars' bodies, rust
won't be an issue, unless the car had been smacked and aftermarket parts
used to repair it, or the repair job was botched.  But a smacked car is to
be avoided at all cost...as I found out the hard way with my '90 3.6 car.
