LOOKING FOR ADVICE

I have to agree with 66jim. If it is within your means a second classic is a valuable tool. There is always something to fix or rebuild on nearly every classic owned. I am fortunate in that I have a wife that let me buy a second toy. When my 70 Dart needs a little attention I have my 75 Vette to drive and when the Vette is down I have the Dart. I don't have much money invested as both of my cars are not show quality but they both drive very well and look half decent at the local cruises. Both cars are covered for the duration of winter weather but both will have a clay bar treatment and fresh wax by April 1st. Good luck with your vintage love affair.
