I hear Yah Brother,
I started with Vette's when I was 18. Bought one with no motor or tranny. Took me a year and a half to get it together. That one was used to step up to the next one and so on. They go up in value with age.
First you drive them off the lot when thier new...they go down in value...then they get old and start to go up again. Depends on the year. I bought the 65 about 12 years ago with a loan from my 401K. I paid myself back with interest and it let me drive my investment at the same time as the Vette went up in value.
Now it's worth almost 9 times what I paid. Of course I put some bucks into it to modify it to my taste.
The collector car hoby is doing much better then the Market..You might want to consider a loan from your 401K or IRA. Spend it now while your still Alive.
Think about it.. you made it back from the Chit Hole over seas...You OWE IT TO YOURSELF.
