What to look for, 69 cuda

As I finish up a long-term resto-mod on a `68 Fastback let me offer this: Buy the most complete, solid, prettiest car you can find. Trim is a heart (and bank...) breaker.... Fenders are made of un-obtainium.... A reproduction plastic dash panel will be $475.... And the value can be out spent easily on a restoration. Inspect ALL the structural points mentioned so far, plus the obvious such as color match and panel alignment from previous repairs.

But then again, if it IS a nice, solid car and you really want one, who's to say what is better for you. :-D

Post pictures if you can..... That will help us alot in giving an opinion too.
