You did good!

To be clear - that is all I got for $800 Cad - just the shell, windshield and tail lights...and a white hoodliner.  I do have a few spares though ....

A $1000 240 these days is going to be a piece of junk, in need of major work. If that's all you can afford to spend on the initial purchase, how are you going to pay for everything it needs thereafter?

I would still say that is a pretty good deal considering the car doesn't look like many of the "Fred Flinstone" vehicles I see for 2 or 3 times that

Agreed - it is much cleaner than the shell I am working on for sure. 

It's bittersweet to see these vehicles climb in value so rapidly. 

In some ways it is vindication for all the years I coveted Z Cars when they were marginalized for not being German or lacking V-8 muscle. 

Now mint examples are out of reach for some and rough examples too problematic to restore with some parts becoming hard to obtain.
