If you're not into building a car particularly and want to buy a "pre-loved" example, there are two that I know of that you'd be very happy with:

1) Spookypt's black Harrison powered by a strong Lexus motor. Absolutely stunning car, looks and sounds wonderful.

2) Phil Neall's Chev powered CR. Super quick, proven performer. The Classic Revival kits are highly regarded, and this particular car is a standout at the Nationals every year.

They're both black and neither has the Ford power you're leaning towards but they are both terrific cars, complete, proven, registered and ready to go. Good luck trying to choose between them!

Thanks for the info . It's a funny thing, but I would almost feel more comfortable with a Lexus than a Bowtie . JAP over Yank .Old habits die hard .......... As the Mustang blokes say "Hoof beats are louder than heartbeats"

After giving it some thought ,I'm leaning towards something that's been started but the owner has ,for what ever reason ,decide not to finish it . Is that likely ?

I got mine as an abandoned build, they come up fairly regularly - mostly with gear that will not pass compliance because - for one reason or another - the build has taken longer than anticipated and the owner/seller does not have the warewithal to see it through under changed conditions.

Generally the sales literature will assure many things

- do your sums.

Thank you LoBelly Thanks good info .

So given LoBellys advise ,does anybody out there have an unfinished project they desperatly trying to unload at give away prices ??

OR as another very helpful member suggested ,(Thank you Cameron) does anybody have a car that's a bit untidy or knocked around they might want to dispose of at the right odds??

AHHHH thankfully dreams are free !!

That blue car sold on EBAY for $33900.00 A goodish buy. Like anything you get what you pay for....

The odd bargain but few and far between I'm afraid.

Come to a breaky and see whats around so as you can evaluate what type of $'s equal what type of cars...

Too ALL owners though their cars are irreplaceable!

Thanks .I arrange to come to a breakfast . I'm away for a couple of weeks ,so when I get back ,I'm there .

Yeah ,I know everybody thinks THEIR car is special regardless of condition ,that's understandable . I guess I have to be Johnny on the spot at the right place and right time .......with a pocket (or pockets ) full of CASH !!!!!
