   I'm planning on buying a used car in the $1500 range.  I'd like to get
something with a little power (i.e. 0-60 in under 10 seconds) that handles
half decently.  People have suggested late '60's and early '70's muscle
cars to me.  Unfortunately, there are quite a few models to look at.  Also,
there is quite a wide range of engine sizes to look at.  I don't think I
need a 429 Cobra Jet engine.  I was thinking something in the 300-350 cu in
range.  Right now, I've got my eye on the '71 to '73 mustangs, but I'm not
too picky as long as the car isn't too ugly and doesn't handle too poorly.
   If anyone out there has any suggestions for cars that may fit my bill,
I'd appreciate hearing about them.  I'm actually planning on spending $2000
on the car, but I'm reserving $500 for repairs & modifications (carb,
headers, etc.).  Thanks.
