I have to second this comment.
Unless you need a status symbol get yourself a good used Ford F-Series
pickup and put your money into your LBC.
I have a 1967 F-250 with a 4 speed and it'll haul anything I ask it to.
Runs great with little maintence (which I do myself) and I don't have
to worry about messing it up.
With the money you save you could buy a nice enclosed trailer and still
afford beer for the cooler.
