tom's purple valiant looks like a better and better deal AS IS every day as threads like this pop up. only a few dollars separate the items, and the valiant comes with "no sweat equity" involved !
i know i should just buy that car, its so cool. great little ripper.
Just do it, then! When will you have the opportunity again? That's what I told myself when I bought the Red Brick.
I was strongly debating it and considering making the plans when you did too. Lol.
