HIQ,,,Why a Classic Roadster? Room and quality of "build". I like the thick glass body (hate the extra weight though). Also they are fairly straight forward with the parts used to build them. Buying parts for some "off the wall" suspension, for instance, can be a nightmare! Iwant shocks, brakes, engine parts, etc. that I can EASILY find on the net or at NAPA! I like 'em, and in the end thats all that counts, lol.

Renmans car is TOTALLY awesome, and YES I would take a 302 in a package like that! BUT, rear drum brakes, no soft top and 4 speed. I want a 5 speed, 4 wheel disc. At 40K he is at the very TOP of the sales curve, not much room to "add" the components I want at that price. But.........it is tempting!

Ron61, I have looked at your car several times now, not sure why it doesn't "reach out and grab me". Maybe I need more specs, seems like "something" was missing? Soft top? 15" rubber? I forget! Send me an e-mail! If the price is right I could "add" the stuff I want I guess.

I check out Cobra Country quite often. I see there are a couple of CR's listed. One looked "right",,,,,,alas,,,,SOLD!

OK, IRS with coil overs. Tubular A arms up front (coil overs). 4 wheel disc. Balanced on all four wheels, near zero bump steer. I want "killer" suspension!
