Very pretty car - my former employer had one and I drove it a lot.

However, I'm 6'2" and 230lbs, so I barely fit and had to sling my arm over the door just to steer it. The ergonomics just flat out suck.

His was a bit oddball, it had a built 351 Windsor with quad Weber carbs and a top-loader 4-speed. Man, could it yodel... but the power delivery was frightening on anything less than hot, dry tarmac. A real handful to drive - insane fun!

They're essentially just a toy and with shifting fortunes, the toys are the first thing to go - so there should be quite a few around. Don't rush your choice.
