What you should do is check with the 356 Registry, that's a great site for info.http://www.356registry.org

There are now very good examples of later restorations on the east coast in the 30's to above the sixties, along with a fair number of restorable cars in that price range you mention.

You are going to have to get a PPI to get under it and a true understanding of any issues.

It is a good idea to do it first thing. Don't you think Tuesday is too long to wait.
