Ah, man...getting foolish thoughts in my head right now.
I do love those airplanes (first balsa wood model I built as a kid). I've always justified owning something more modern by being a tightwad - if it's got that kind of power and fuel burn, it's got to go faster. Those things are so beautiful, but, sadly, so slow.

"If Your Cessna is older than your wife..." You might Be a Redneck.
I like the club or joint ownership idea, although finding tailwheel pilots to go in on a big classic like that might be a little tricky.
They're dreaming on the speed. I've spoken to a number of gullwing Reliant owners who have told me to figure on 130 MPH for the cruise speed. It's got that big, fat wing and big cabin. On the same power, the Cessna 195 runs 130 knots or so and the 210 more than 150.
