Just bought a Miata build... thanks for the leads! Bill

Not really... I'm figuring more on a Kent, A4G-E, or at best a Miata Locost build... so about half that amount of power and likely a bit more weight since most seem to be built on +442 chassis these days... like I said a fairly low spec car. I'm under no misconceptions about what a high spec car is worth... that's just not what I'm currently looking for.

Actually I've already received a couple of leads (and from perusing past Ebay sales and classifieds it doesn't loo like what I'm asking is too unusual... just nothing seems on the market at the moment in the US... in the UK sub $10,000 cars are the norm rather than the exception)... I just don't expect a late model factory built car with 200hp or something that would be at home at the SCCA nationals.... Looking seriously at one car but it's got a little more engine and weight than I was looking for... so still soliciting leads. thanks! Bill

Looking for an inexpensive turnkey car, hopefully one with a 25+ year old title already sorted. I was building a Miata powered locost but really didn't have time to seriously work on it. I'd prefer a four cylinder car over other options and would like to keep the budget under $10k. Could stretch slightly more for an exceptional car (or maybe a real S4) but I'm really just looking for a toy to bomb around town in... so a low spec car will suit me just fine. Prefer a "classic" look. In Frederick, MD so east coast is a bonus, but I'm willing to travel for the right car (keeping in mind that travel/transportation costs figure in to that $10k ceiling) Thanks! Bill
