Larry, 
get yourself a TR8!
Maximum power obtainable is highest in warmed over, as well as stock car
Never get hot if you get one with AC
Base car easily found and scandalously undervalued
Spare parts easily found in the thousands of '7s who's only meaning of
life was to wait for the opportunity to resurrect a TR8
Etc
Regards
/Odd
