I built a new car, should have bought one that was done. Not sure I would do it again. But now I am having fun with my 79 Mustang U/SA

I've done both. Build a car from nothing and bought a complete running competitive car. Buying a car complete and competitive is way easier but not as fulfilling as building it yourself. As long as you have the time and money.But sure is nice being able to race immediately. Confused yet........lol

Besides being easier, I would expect it would be less costly to build a slower/lower class car in many instances. Breakage in drivetrain less frequent as well.

There was a Cadillac turn key Super Stocker ( GT car ) with trailer for sale at the August 2019 Bowling Green , KY division race. I think it was $ 25K with spare parts for everything.
Early 1990's Caddy I believe with a 425 Caddy engine
