I've been in the game for a long time and a '69 plain jane for under 10 is a difficult score. An ss? If you find one it will be a rot box roller. Beggars can't be choosers esp for that price point. 69 is the pinnacle year in which everyone wants one, including me. I remember when '69 pace cars went for 12k used! I almost bought a 250-6 about 5 years back...marina blue/black strips unseen for 6500 in average shape w/bondo and i thought that was a great deal being it was drivable but upon inspection i just couldn't do a project of that magnitude. Just settle for any first gen if you can...a '69 bird can be bought on the cheap being its the 'step child' of the group. If that is what he wants, and it sounds like it is, check mid-west classifieds as their better on the body rot and consult Hemmings for listings. Also c/l those areas may yield some leads. For $9999, year one will sell you the repo uni-body...
