    I say drive it and enjoy it, when I was a kid my Dad got the last new car my grandfather ever bought, it was in 1973 and the car was a 1961 ford, specail ordered with a 390 tbird engine with chrome skirts and a continenal kit, black with a white top, it only had 17000 miles on it when we got it ,still had paper on the door panels and those clear plastic seat covers over yellow & black cloth seats. A couple of years later a wheel bearing in the rearend went out, we were out in the country on a Sunday drive. Dad went real slow trying to make it into town, long story short grease in rearend caught fire, I remember sitting on side of country road with smoke pouring out of the chrome skirt, Dad was trying to throw dirt on the fire,soon the interior caught fire, tires blew and then the horn started honking and honked for several min. Car burnt up from windshield back,I remember dad talking about the pretty cloth seats how nobody ever got to enjoy them because of them old seatcovers, so drive it and enjoy it ,never know when something could happen and chance could be lost

    I have seen it in person.....really nice ride!
    I am just glad that the fuel line did not turn it into a "used-to-be" real nice car!
