Welcome from Texas, if you can afford the car buy it. It will give you untold enjoyment tooling around Europe in an American vehicle. When my wife and I were on Poland Christmas a year ago, I saw only one American car in the 16 days we were there.
X2 on those air cleaners. A good friend and I were out in his Henry J and the car back fired causing them to catch fire. It was a PITA to clean all of the debris out of the engine.
Welcome from another Texas, there are a few FABO members up in the DFW area. Look into the Mopar Mini Nationals that will be around somewhere around September of this year.
