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.
