"...You can pick up a 79-81 'bird that's clean in the 3-6k range easy, keep looking. Make good street/strip cars too. Easy to swap a nose for 77/78 too if you wanted..."
Yeah, that's a good idea. But, I don't have a '77-'78 nose, and have never done the swap. Maybe I can find one that somebody else has done.
Also, except for the '79 W-72 cars, I'd want a 301, non turbo car, to make the Pontiac engine install a bit easier. A late '70's Bird would have the advantage of having lots of parts available for 'em. Would also be easier to sell, than an X-body, when the time comes.
"...You can clone a Can Am you know. Look at Sobin's build thread if you want a chubby..."
That's interesting. I assume I'd need a real clean & cheap '77 Lemans, since all the correct cloning parts may be pricey, and hard to find. But, I'll check it out.
