Maybe just get a "not so great one" that runs good to practice on. You can always keep an eye out for a prettier one and swap all your goodies over to it in the future.
Think of it as a "jig" to get everything just right for when that rust free beauty comes into your life...
It might be worth it to drive a little ways for a good car. Seems there arent ever any in your area... even a while back when I was looking. Had to drive practically to PA for mine :-P
