selling P71 - what to replace with?

so i have a kid coming up this weekend for the p71 with cash. most likely he will be taking it home to columbus with him and i'll have a pocket fulla money. then next week i will be scrapping the other p71. i'll have around 2 grand plus a few hundred for repairs to pick up something else. a 1992 lumina euro 3.4 may also come as part of the p71 deal.

there are a couple candidates right now.

1993 5 speed lumina z34 for $650 with new clutch, rust free body, but potentially blown engine. may just be a timing belt. i love z34's and have wanted a 5 speed forever, and if this 92 euro 3.4 comes with the crown vic deal there will be a running donor incase the z34 engine really is bad.

1970 chevelle wagon - clean nc body, no engine/trans. needs paint. $1800

1978 Z28 w/ parts car, no drivetrain, needs paint $1000

1986 Fleetwood Bro-hams on 14" daytons with hydros and 100k miles for $1500

anything is being considered, anything without a drivetrain that can take a small block chevy is not a problem as i've got a 350/700r4 sitting here.

you do what in this case? also considering looking for a mark viii or mark vii lsc, BMW, anything that catches my interest - i have automotive ADD so different days yield different desires.

chevelle.

by a lot.

Yeah, the Chevelle. Wagon coolness factor, no rust (I presume), the it's-not-another-Camaro factor -- it all works. Do the Chevelle.

For galactic coolness, do the Chevelle with a direct-injection turbo 4 from a Cobalt SS/Solstice GXP/Sky Red Line.

One more vote for the Chevelle

sweet wagony goodness

+1 for LNF power

lumina? you're considering a lumina?

I vote Chevelleski

chevellellele.

i gather i could have listed the fact that i already have a 72 chevelle.

crossing the z34 off the list, i remember how much i hate FWD engine swaps with an engine the size of the 3.4 dohc. love the engine, love the car, but don't like yanking the drivetrain out.

i've been leaning to then away from and back to another 78-81 camaro alot lately.

then i lean to something else, like another p71. then i think why sell this one. ADD at it again.

I think he should have his Dork status downgraded just for wanting a Lumina, 5-speed or not.
