I hate to use a "Antiques roadshow" term here, but, If I buy a car with a good "20/20" paint job (20 MPH and 20 feet away it looks good) with a nice Patina that can be waxed out to some degree, I am much happier driving the slop out of it than one with a super nice paint job. AFTER I have done all of the necessary mechanical stuff I'm prone to do. I see that my costs to complete my PT Maro is going to be close to a riteous down payment on a beach house we have been looking at on the gulf that just came up for sale by owner.
The Beach. The Wife. Need I say More? I'm still finishing the car.
