Just a thought... ....if it is possible to buy it now, and store it in a nice dry environment, you could still restore it in the future. With the increasing interest in these cars over the past four years, there is likely to be more interest from manufacturers in reproducing some of the harder to find parts such as sheetmetal. That would make things a bit easier I suspect. With the values going up, it can be viewed as an investment as well. I know the feeling of having my first car. I am lucky that my parents supported me in the decision to keep it when I went to college. I drove a $150 beat up Mustang II so that I could keep the Comet. You won't believe how many "I wish I had my first..." stories that fact brings up. Rome was not built in a day. Many of is here have either works in progress or took many years to complete a project. They often sit dormant in a garage as funds and parts are collected for a resto. If your post was your final decision, I would invite you to hang around anyway. We love new folks. My best to you.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing as I was reading your post. I seriously doubt you will get this chance again. Mine sat 9 years untouched before I had the time and money to restore it.
