Ben is one of us for certain, this is his dream car and he enjoys even just speaking about it. Couldn't be in better hands.

Wow, very nice! It's refreshing to see someone with a pristine example they are not afraid to drive daily, and fixes things on time, rather than collecting dust. It's amazing how many miles were logged. A lot of people can't justify the cost of an engine rebuild. I'd rather rebuild the engine as many times as needed than buying a new car each time. A modern car is expensive, then it reaches a certain age where it goes out of style, has too much wrong with it and is too complicated to repair, then it's not worth fixing. A car like this will be cool forever and can be restored time and time again.

Remember a lot of tomorrow's cool cars are the ones people say are uneconomical to repair today.
