You haven't even looked at a car in person yet, have you?
I've looked at a few 71's...most garbage, some not for sale and the others too much $. Having money to wait is different than having time to wait. I already lost what could've been an incredible time...

Very true but really not sure "more" will ever be enough.
A few yrs back I actually did have a larger pot saved up and found my dream ride on a site "Collector Motors". I offered $27K cash, it seemed like the Gent was good with it but the Lady in charge was firm at 30K, they let me walk. Below is a pic of the car, I still have a downloaded video of it that I drink a beer to every now and then.

I'm SOOO happy I asked for advice on this forum. Sorry to hear about your ride.

I'm truly so appreciative for all the experience and hard lessons learned that have been shared. I have been reading the Investing thread and boy is that a good one.
