keep in mind most of the steel cars were rust buckets and patched up. especially ones build 30 years ago. that is why glass cars became popular. you can get into a glass highboy at the same cost of a steel 29-31 . dont let the glass thing get in your way. i would not consider a steel 32 unless it was raw steel from the pasture . the car you describe is not a 20k car . add interior and updates and you will be in the 30's fast. tires are likely 10 years old or more even if they look great . there is way more to think about with a 30 year old build . good luck with it .
