Katie,
when I was 20 years old I tried to convince my dad that I should buy a 1968 Shelby GT-500 KR. My argument was exactly what you propose in appealing to your folks.

My father said that I would kill myself in it, looking back I was a wildman and he was probably right.

Many, many years later I am still pissed at my dad for not lending my the 1K of additional money I needed to complete the transaction.

So I know how you feel, "there will never be another one like this", or "I just got to have this car".......you know what I mean.

More importantly is the fact that after viewing the pics you posted I would have to say that there is something fishy going on with that car, something just does'nt look right. For instance the bumperettes are early ('65-'68).

You do not want to buy something more or less on impulse just to find that you have bought a bondo filled rustbucket.

When it was time to purchased a project to do with my son I made sure to start with a solid car as a base.

I HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE MORE THAN ONCE! and have lived to regret it. All I am saying is better to pass on this car and wait than to have a car that will take way too much money to repair or made into a reliable and SAFE car for you to drive.

Good Luck, believe me I know how agonizing it can be.
