You mean feebay? Its impossible to get a good deal there anymore. They have jacked up the price so much they have run most of the good deals off to craigslist. So here is what I recommend. Look at all of the large cities in america on craigslist and especially those close to you. I prefer any city in a dry area and I avoid cities in the rust belt. JMO. But anyways go the craigslist and do a search for the exact car you want and then decide just how much work you want to do to have the car you want. I would think at 17 gou would want one you can drive and your pockets are not too deep. I would look at everything from 67-70 in a coupe and try to get the one you want. My experience is you may have to jump on a plane and fly out to see the car before you buy it. If possible always take cash just in case you buy it you may get it cheaper if you are there with money in hand. I have bought so many cars and motorcycles that way. I have flown all over this country just to look at a car or cycle. Southwest loves me.

I can 1up you. Better to go to www.jaxed.com and click on "SO YOU WANT THE MASH?"

It is a nationwide craigslist auto search tool. I have bought 2 cars out of state this way, and bought probably 50 parts and accessories and had them shipped.
