Hey! Andrew!
What Gives?
I didn't see the ;-) in your reply.
I don't even have a 2000, only a "lowly"1600. (It was given to me however,
by a woman friend who just couldn't keep up with it even after spending many
$k on it. I got the receipts with the car!) I am "obligated" to let her
drive it from time to time now that it runs well. Not a bad deal, as she is
a long time friend and quite attractive!)
I do have a certain amount of unreasonable passion, ' else I wouldn't
subscribe to this list.
This unreasonable passion does not keep me from trying to see my actions
from other viewpoints.
Certainly I can not value a complete car by the price I would have to pay to
obtain all the parts. (Although I do tend to accumulate "stuff" on that
premise.)
Pretty soon I would be counting up my many enjoyable hours spent "working on
the car" and "charging shop rate" of $50 per hour. We know we will never
see that kind of valuation. What would your insurance agent say?
I regret that I do not know Sid and his appreciation for the Roadsters
Have you done any engine or suspension modifications to make your car more
competitive? These near 2 liter volkswagons get right with the program
right out of the box.
Your $50K price puts the car beyond the interest of anyone I know. (list
included I suspect).
If you must know, I really want a Formula Ford that I can drive on the
street.
There you can get a real automobile for about $12K ! ;-). I like the
fineness of the small engine/car as opposed to raw HP.

My advice is if the car means so little to you, why don't you sell your 67
2000 for
