Spend some more time looking around, you can get a nice rod for less then high 30's, I found a real model "A" all steel all Ford drive train with under 1800 miles on it for less then that (only a year removed from winning Coolest Rod at Goodguys Great Lakes nationals). Also you are coming up on about the best time to find one after the summer driving season is over.

November/December there usually is a number of cars put up for sale with Christmas and taxes right around the corner they are more willing to cut a deal (I bought mine at the end of October). Like some have already stated street rods are not worth as much as some wished they were regardless of how much it cost to build. If you plan to keep it for a while it is in your best interest to take your time and get the most for your money instead of buying the first car that really catches your eye.

I agree. With that kind of budget you are in good shape to find something super nice, and that would have a better resale value down the road. Before I would plunk down $ 30K plus I would really look around. There are a lot of cars that the guy has $ 50-$60K in that can be picked up for this kind of cash.

That isn't to knock the Street Beast product, but I just don't think one of these is worth that kind of money.
