First, welcome to ECC, Casey. One important thing to look for with a 37 year old car, particularly in your part of the country, is rust. True enough it can be repaired or replaced but there comes a point when it is just too much. You may have already thought about if you are going to hold out for a documented Super Sport or if a clone will do. It will take a build sheet to document it so don't pay extra without proof. Good luck with your search.

Here is a 71 that I bought, advertized as a SS, obviously not. I did not pay SS money and it was not a big deal for me. After changing it over to a big block, I parted ways with it for rust issues.

Now im stuck with this old thing Poke Tounge
