Way to go!   This will insure you buy FIRST  a car the is a driver or can be 
quickly....then you can get a "Big Project" if desired!

Your  feelings of 60's cars..is normal...

Believe me..after a few good long runs / trips...it's all come back....A  
MAN'S  car!  ggggg

I've got my 1st "stocker"  a '69  with 54k  miles.....I've even left little 
13" wheels on it...

I have..with practice,   learned it's limits......and have gained the respect 
of many in the local area.....as most never thought a Corvair could go as 
fast as it can...and not slow for most corners....then come to a halt as quick as 
they can.....

Now it's time for 8"  sticky  rubber!
