I've always liked that idea too. As Rick said it would have to have to pass your vehicle inspection in order to be tagged for the road. You would also have to have daily driver insurance because most collector car insurers won't touch a daily driver, so that means "agreed value" insurance is out.
Other than the other concerns, I like the idea. There are plenty of people doing just what you want to do, especially in the warmer climate states.Bob

Daily driver
I put my 27 Track T together as a daily driver, (satin black paint, ZZ4, auto trans, cruise control and 2.79 gearing. Best move I ever did.

Rock and Roll!!!!
Go for it.... I am building a 32 3W right now with the idea that it will be driven all the time - Maybe not winters but rain and all the other weather that is thrown at us up here. I doubt it will ever see a show other than from the spectator parking lot. I like the look of the car and it will be built from all new parts (I know that some people cringe at that) but it will be reliable and comfortable and I will know that the 75 year old parts will not be giving out. Like Dave said...it's your car...do what you want and if someone is a truly into cars they will appreciate it for what it is.....As I was raised....if you don't have something good to say....well you know the rest

Thinking about it more I think I would only like a coupe. It will be a tough decision I would have to sell the vette to have space for a 32. It would be nice having a car I use more often and don’t have to worry about.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
