The replies you've been getting remind me of the decision I had to make in 1966 when I needed a car to make the NY to Kansas City trip for school. Choice was between the $200 1960 T-Bird I was fixing and driving--with it's 390 engine, A/C, power everything and a $10 1960 Valiant my dad bought just as a ride back from the out of state dealer auction he attended--with its 170 slant six and 3 on the floor and no power nothin'. The Valiant made those trips practically cost free with a few paying riders. Take everyone's advice--stay away from high maintenance cars like the 960. There are plenty of 240, 740 and 940 cars available which will provide safety and reliability at not much cost. Buy the best car for your money but put 1/4 your budget away for near future repairs which ALWAYS pop up. Whatever you find--it's worth the cost to have it looked at by someone who knows the cars. Good luck---Dave
