I'm in South Carolina, near Charlotte.
For this car, I 100% don't care about originality/correctness. It was bought to be a driver. We'll use it for road trips, brewery runs, letting the dogs ride along, etc.
I *DO* care about it being dependable and dialed in and usable. I like to fix the little niggling things.
I have a '63 Bug I've owned for nearly 30 years. It was a show car and is still that nice. I like that the Valiant draws stares and thumbs up just like the Bug, but I'm not scared to actually use it!
