Either, it's finding one in good condition that's the challenge. They can all look good with quick paint job but there's lots out there to avoid.

For cars of an equal condition and at relaistic prices I think that I'd go for Custom.

As above. Depends what you want it for. If not bothered you might as well go for the custom and get some mod cons.

As mensioned before, condition is the most important thing to consider. However, in my opinion if both cars were exactly the same condition etc then I would go for the non custom: Rare, less thing to go wrong, sunroof always go rusty, and in my opinion it feels nicer inside and looks better without the sunroof. I must admit I'm a bit bias though owning a non custom myself
