I would go for the Farmingdale car too. Keep the I6, they can run with a stock 302 2v with only slight mods.

You would need more than slight mods to keep up with a 302.

I see two problems the carpet on the passenger side looks wet so the cowl vent is rusted out that's a big job to fix.Vinyl top are good at holding water under them so the roof will have rust maybe huge rust holes.I'm on the fence on to pass or not.

I had an opportunity like that a while ago (I'm 17 also), and from the pictures all it seemed to need was paint, but upon checking it out it was overly rusted, so I passed, if you do decide I would take either of the other 2 before that one. Sure they are more expensive, but by the time to fix up the first one it might be more expensive than them

Once I get a CAI and a header I can compete with my friends 302. I'm not too far behind him right now. I pay less in gas than he does also.

It sold anyway. I also found this: http://longisland.craigslist.org/clt/731378918.html

Emailed the guy asking if it had any rust. Apparently it does in the drives side rear floor pan.
