Opinions on this '68 Barracuda

I love Search Tempest! That's how I found this one. I don't mind travelling far if I can drive it home; I don't have a trailer. If it was close, I could manage something.

I took a one way flight and drove a car 650 miles home once, but it only had 5,000 miles on it. I've driven three and four hours several times and towed one home from about 5 hours away.

I'd say anything from about 3-4 hours away from the Charlotte, NC area. I want to be able to take a friend with me and drive back, so I want to avoid having to buy a plane ticket and driving back by myself.

I saw this one a little closer, but at almost twice the price I can't justify it.

I'd end up putting that much into the red one, but not all at once and I'd build it how I wanted to.
