Looking for '82-'92 'bird for nieces first car

I dont want her to end up in some ***** mobile. I need something relatively cheap, I dont have much money but I really want to do this for her. Her 16th is about a year away so I have some time to fix some stuff but I dont want a basket case. Im located in Missouri so the closer the better. Help me out guys, where's a good deal?

Interesting, cant say the "R" word on here,huh?,lol. I forgot to mention I would prefer the car to be a V8(just because I'll be doing all the work on it and I dont like working on 6's) and an Automatic, just because being her first car I think an auto would be easier on her. Something "unmolested" would be nice too.

C'mon guys, nothing in Missouri, or even one of the surrounding states?

If you comb the classifieds, you'll find it. There was a nice formula for about 1000 bucks near St. Louis not too long ago...

Let me see...

If you look in classifieds you will find a NICE 87 formula. Has a new engine, everything is in real nice shape. Posted by Rideon1200. Out of Va.

If you'll notice I already responded to your post asking where the car is located. Richmond VA is a little to far...unless you're paying shipping?

Missouri, I made a trip to Missouri (actually Blytheville Ar) and back in a weekend. Rent a uhal and car trailer and it is a breeze. I will say that was 20 years ago! Couple cases of beer and a bunch of friends....ROAD TRIP!
