As Rocky mentioned, hook up with a club. Note these are all-steel sports cars and the 'Tin Worm' loves them! POCA has Chapters in most States and all over Europe, and many owners will travel a few hours to check out a prospective car, just for the asking. This act of friendship is common in the Club and can save plane tickets and the heartbreak/expense of buying a 'Bondo Sculpture' on E-Bay or other source. The absolute worst thing you can do is fall hopelessly in love with a particular machine without shopping (carefully). Low price is NOT necessarily what you should be looking for! Good luck.
