Hi Thanks for responding; I truly did not mean to be Open ended. As far as patients goes I am very patient I am will to wait to get the right car after all I will own it. I will check the local club. I am in Tennessee do you know which Club I should use. I would love a restored car however cost wise however I think that a safe drive while it gets fix it up might be more practical. I not very handy to work on the car myself is not much of an option, I understand your comments regarding option C however I don't understand what you mean by I" can no longer buy a car from D-1, simply because you asked the question".
