Searching Florida for Bullnoses and interesting cars

Rembrant
Hey Folks,

Wife and I just booked a trip to Florida in April and will be staying in the SW, Fort Myers area. I'm going to be vehicle hunting while I'm there.

I just thought I'd throw out a feeler post for any forum members in Florida or the southeast in general to keep your eyes peeled for interesting trucks and cars. If I can't find something I want in Florida I don't mind traveling to another state to get something, but it would have to be reasonably close, like Georgia or the Carolinas, etc.

I'll be looking for the following vehicles:

1961-1987 Ford Flareside in 2wd or 4x4.
1999-2004 2nd Gen Ford Lightning (Unlikely that I'll find one in my price range lol)
Foxbody Mustangs and SN95 Mustang GT's, or 1999-2004 Mustang GT's.
May consider..."gasp"...a Dodge or Chevy pickup, but would have to be a Stepside model only, and at least 30 years old.

No projects, no rust buckets, and no big blocks. I don't mind patina, but I want something that I can get in and drive 2000 miles

Anyway, just throwing it out there as I know there are guys like me that scan the for sale ads regularly, and you may find a local gem that I wouldn't come across in my searches.
1994 F150 4x2 Flareside. 5.0 w/MAF, 4R70W, stock.
1984 F150 4X2 Flareside. Mild 302 w/ 5spd. Sold.
1980 F150 4X4 Flareside. 300i6 w/ 5spd. Sold in 2021.
1980 F100 4X2 Flareside. 351w/2bbl w/NP435. Sold in 1995

I kinda check off the boxes, as I do check Marketplace and Craigslist somewhat often, but rarely search for some of the vehicles you listed. If you let me know closer to your visit date, I can definitely scan for those vehicles and see if something matches your description and hasn't been touched by .
