I agree that these cars are NO investments !
Besides the floor pans, what should I look for underneath the cars ? Anything particular to the Spits ? 
Thanks for your input !

: Assuming you had the opportunity to buy

: comparable shape (body, engine,
: interior, etc.) and the asking price is
: about the same for each:
:
: One is a '69, the other a MKIV from
: '71, the 3rd one is either '73 or a '74
: (not sure) and the last one is a '79
: 1500.
:
: None have a hard-top available and none
: have overdrive.
:
: Considering the availability for parts,
: value of a restored car, pleasure to
: drive, etc, and again, assuming the
: amount of work and money to spend is
: very similar for all cars: wich one
: would you choose ?
:
: Thanks for sharing your wisdom !
