You're coming to the same conclusion I am building my 64 Dart for. WE don't need race cars for cruising, just something that drives well and looks like we want to be seen in. Working on that plan we can afford to put miles on our babies.
I totally agree! However I do like to run mine at the track. Now that being said, racing a slow car and doing what you can to make a slow car as fast as it can be for what it is, is alot of fun! And definitely cheaper than trying to be the fastest out there!
