Yuu would have to be insane to follow through with that triangle of doom. The best way I can think to explain this is look at guys and their gals. Everyone has different taste and what is acceptable to one man might not be acceptable to another. I have a pic from my black '66 Charger here somewhere and among the items I found were 10 compression fittings in the braking system. The car has done almost 150 like that! All of my buddies were surprised when I got the car home and started tearing it down. They wanted me to slam the 511 / Lenco combo in and go. I have been around enough "race" cars to know better lol. As said above assume you are buying a shell unless there are lots of build pictures, receipts (from well known shops), etc. In my experience "ready to run" usually means "worn out junk" in race car speak.
