Default WTB 68-72 4 speed roadster (or coupe)

Hello, I am looking for a 68 - 72 roadster. 4 speed numbers matching small block , power steering. Would like a nice driver or better. I would want a nice rust free frame/birdcage. I might consider a coupe as well with the above equipment. My favorite colors are : war bonnet, any of the greens, Ontario orange. Pretty open to colors except no black or sunflower yellow. I also don't like sidepipes, but they might not be a deal breaker. I would like to stay in the 20 to 25k price range, of course price might move around a bit for the right car. I am in Phoenix, Az, but I don't mind shipping, as long as I have access to some good pics etc. I am not against a big block coupe, but it would be pushing my upper limits on spending. Thanks

I am the original owner of this car. 327/350 4spd, PS/PB. Bright Blue interior.
Garaged virtually its entire life. Kept it original when I've refurbished a part. Runs well. Some shortcomings. $13,000.
