[QUOTE="Cariboocreek, post: 210373, member: 4940"] Not entirely clear, but your description of car #2 indicates it is not a numbers matching car. Provable numbers matching cars, with provenance, are better long term collector cars and will retain better value. However, car 2 strikes me as a better buy per pound of metal, for a driver. A new crate motor is $10k plus. I am assuming the restorations are both quality restorations. The price point of $55k is maybe a touch high for both (I have been poking around this spring for a C3 Roadster) but in the ball park. What is your plan? Car #1 is a better car to purchase, trailer home, put under cover, and let time increase its value. Car #2 is a better car to purchase to drive home, wash, drive more, wash, and let time do what it does. I am a car 2 guy. [/QUOTE]
