... are always a good time.
Go for it!

I find mine to be alot of fun. Not fast fun. But top down classic car fun. They are reliable and heavy and feel substantial.

Go for it.

I did in fact "Go for it", the car was trailered home last weekend. Several things need to be worked on, the top cover needs to be replaced because it is badly rusted around the edges where the weatherstrip is, needs all injectors, fuel tank needs to be cleaned out with all the fuel lines. The fuel distributor needs to be re-installed, I have a book coming to help with that. That;s it for now, I want to get it running ASAP!
