Budget is tight so the initial purchase cost would need to be around $10 000 so that pretty much rules out all coupe models I guess.
I'm no stranger to working on old cars but I want something that atleast is close to a running car.
What would your choice be with these criterias and why?
Happy to hear your opinions and suggestions.

There's a very nice looking '48 Fordor that just got listed on the Early Ford Club site. By the looks of it , perhaps one of the nicer one that's been offered in a while. While it is a six cylinder, it does have a Columbia overdrive. These post war sixes are GOOD engines.
These 48's are very nice driving cars - better than the prewar models in my opinion.
The guy is asking $15k which may seem fair but methinks if you're patient, the realistic price will be closer to $12k.
For that, how could you go wrong?
