I am in Jacksonville, Florida and one of the cars I bought from a guy in Alabama around Columbus Ga. (he lived in Ga. the cars are in Al.). I bought a '69 Square for $225 (no title though) but he did have others..Here's his name and email, Greg Fetner, fetnerg@mindspring.com I would expect to pay $500-1,000 for a good (complete) starter car. Try if you can to get a complete car, its hard and expensive to find parts. Thats why I have 4 Square's....just to build one good solid one. As for years, well that is a matter of personal taste. I personally like the early style years '69 or earlier. And I would suggest a '69 because it was the only year of the old body style and the IRS rear end. Any thing else just ask the list......
