Welcome to CHR!

For just under $10K you can get an awesome '32 Ford golf cart! See 1932 Ford Roadster for Sale | ClassicCars.com | CC-607460

If you want to have a real one, you probably need to, at a minimum, double the ante for entry level. I know that there are "projects" out there that you may be able to snag for what appears to be a reasonable sum but in the end, they are money pits that suck you dry and return very little in the way of driving satisfaction.

Don't let go of your dream - save up or perhaps explore alternate means of raising some money. I've alway been a "pay-as-I-go" guy with my cars and Harleys, but know plenty of folks who have no qualms about a line of credit against their residence for a car that they feel like they "have to have."

Research is key as well as a lot of in-person looks at what's out there. I know there are a lot of shows in Jersey and the surrounding area and I'd encourage you to attend and talk with the guys and gals you meet about what they're driving and what kind of an investment is reasonable in your market. Know for sure that it's a rare day when someone makes a ton of money on the sale of a hot rod and there are some deals to be had at shows - especially if you find someone who's either grown tired of the '32 or perhaps has mitigating circumstances mandating they dispose of the car.

Keep after it - I'm sure others far mor knowlegable that I will chime in with advice and ideas!

Best Regards,
Glenn
