<VV> "Worthless" 2doors

[Dave Keillor]

Ah, but the frugals won't spend the additional $3,000.  They'll stop
with the $850 and band-aid the car the rest of the way.  There is
nothing wrong with being frugal, but some of the people there are really
pedantic about it.

I really like survivor cars.  A few years back we visited the car museum
in Borton-on-the-Water and found it really neat.  Everything cars,
caravans, automobilia, etc. was unrestored.  Hw was looking for a buyer
at the time, and hoping the collection could be kept together.

I take your point Dave, and I am a 'frugal' myself in lots of ways. But
you 
have got to be really, really, really stupid if you think it is better
to 
pay $850 for a car that needs $3000 spending on it than it is to spend
$2400 
on one that doesn't need any work.

And you end up with a better car when you buy the original one, to boot.

That is why I bought my Terraplane. I am heavily into HPOF cars and I am

pleased they are the hot ticket (although I am still disturbed by the
number 
of original unrestored 30s cars I hear about through the H-E-T club,
that 
get rodded!).
