Why not buy one already restored?

That's true, if you have the money.

I did the opposite and and thought I bought one in good condition but ended up having to fix a whole bunch of shit before I could enjoy it.

The old 86 just like the new one are great goddamn cars.

Just because they can't beat your darling corvette on the nurburgring or dragstrip doesn't make it great.

There's more to cars other than numbers displayed on wikipedia.

Do you eat food as well that has the best nutritional value/price compared to other foods in the store?

8-6s have been done to death in every possible combination. It will be this generations '69 Camaro with old balding weebs polishing near identical rows of them at whatever equivalent to goodguys they'll have.

Do an 87-88 S12 SE with an itb VQ.

Or a supercharged vg33 from a frontier/xterra, it would bolt right in.
