Which Vintage MTB should I look for?

Hi, thanks in advance for your advice. I am looking to find a very inexpensive older mountain bike as a project. I am looking for one with no suspension, lightweight but strong. simple and uncomplicated. I would like to put street oriented all season style tires on it. Possibly this could become a one speed but the purpose will be street, sidewalk, paved trails and maybe a little dirt and gravel. Possibly what some people call a commuter bike.

The conditions I am riding in now are a bit rougher than I prefer for skinny tires so I am looking to set something up cheap as a fun project.

Looking for advice on brands and models to search. Also advice on tires.

Thanks,
Brian
