Yo Bill,
I got a thing for hood down driving so a GT isn't even an option I'd
concider. But I will tell you my experiences and observations. I've
been approached by sellers of GTs several times and I found that, in my
neck of the woods, I can get a very nice GT for $3,500 and a roadster
in same condition would run $6,000. Parts are relatively the same
availability as a B. Hot, Hot, Hot ask anyone who did Indy in one.
BTW you need not convince me of your enthusiasum for LBC but of coarse
if it helps you convince yourself I'm all ears. I mean nobody any harm
and would give most the shirt off my back. But if you want to get hot
around the collar, then I recommend you continue to take my sarcasism
to heart and buy the GT.
