a) yep, I'm sure that's part of it, no point in make a 20K investment in the car alone if you're not going to make the most of it.
b) I'd bet on the new car without thinking twice. Force Analysis has come a LONG way in 50 years.
c) yep, looks like it, and it doesn't surprise me, any car 50 years old is going to have SOME, even if it's buried in the rockers, or frame rails.
