> Tony,   With all the requirements you listed, save your time and
efforts, and find a decent 1st generation Intrepid or Concorde. They are
decent "big" cars, and except for towing, I think they fit your list of
needs and wants. You can find a "beater" for a grand, or up to a nice one
for under $3500. For the money, you would be better off, than trying to
build and drive a car at the same time. Just my opinion.   Tom in Dallas
