Thanks everyone, yes the plan is to GO FOR IT! Just curious what everyone here thought as far as $$$. I've never really focused on the value of project cars, only complete ones. My friend is going to air up the tires, drag it back to his farm so we can get a good look underneath at the frame etc. I forgot to mention this is the same family friend that sold my '62 to my dad way back in 1984. Same condition mine was in also. My Mom, Dad and I restored the first one, might as well do them both, hey? My car used to sit right beside it in the same barn...too cool! I also thought about the advantage of having my car to reference while restoring another one...
On a side note, just went for dinner and movie with the wife and kids in our '62. I just love this time of year! Windows down, arms out, radio up. Hope your all doing the same.
