This thread has been interesting and has taken a few curves in the road.

Saving money is worthy pursuit.

Aluminum bodied cars with FE Engine is the drivable trophy if one has the means to spend the bread.

Keith Craft 482 Aluminum Pond Block 600+ HP runs quite well on pump gas Race gas performance is desirable...costly but not conveniently available on the streets.

My conclusion for driving pleasure...better engineered surpasses duplicating outdated technology. The purist cars are true museum trophies.

I prefer a Corsair over what the Wright Bros. flew at Kitty Hawk.
That is why they make both Ford and Chevrolet...albiet Government Motors may end this choice as they introduce the approved peoples car which I fear may be roller skates in the near future.

It took a couple of years to reach a decision for my Cobra...Enjoying the ride as custodian for this future Legend.
