I think you can do better for the same money, unless of course you want to
do the work on this one yourself, and that includes the engine rebuild. If
you don't feel ready for that, then you're better off with another car. If
you do feel ready, you'll have the help of the list.
By the way, you are not crazy. But maybe there should be some method to
your madness, and you can find the car that's right for you before shelling
out.
Good Luck, and I hope you have one soon.
