We are out here!  I am currently owned by a '65 3.8 S-type..... My two year driving 
restoration project is on perfect schedule.. have had it for 2 years now (parked in 
the garage for one of them).  Financially on schedule also.  Have now paid the 
purchase price again in repairs/restoration items.  At this rate I am on track for 
hitting about $20,000 in 10 years, at wich point the car should be worth about 
$5,000 again.  Go figure.
