Too many stories floating around about "good cars" that get into the hands of a new owner without the same stuff it'd had prior.

As for recommended combo's? Depends on your budget. Going fast costs $ and, as much as I admire the "dime rockets," there don't seem to be too many of those winning races on the regular.

My $.02.
Very good advice. I've heard some of those same stories over the years...engines being changed, carburetors, etc. See it go down the track, buy it and take it home.
