All good thoughts. I have two As that I bought restored. Far from perfect, but good drivers, fairly cheap and they have been a lot of fun. I was glad I bought them as I did. As you said, they all need some work.

I have probably gone even crazier and have just bought two V8s. One is an original car and will stay that way. The other is a restored pickup that I just had to have. Both from the same owner selling at the same time. My big prob is where to store them? That may end up costing more than I thought.

I bought them well, I think, but not super cheap. V8s are a whole order of magnitude more expensive than As and probably at least 2x as complicated. Let's see how I make out.

I would love to restore a car some day, but I am still working, so I figured that I would never finish.
