That's as much work as Gertrude, isn't it?

Kats66Pny · « **Reply #2 on:** February, 22, 2011, 01:04:33 PM »

... WAY more than Gertrude. I just like the look of the 70's.

No way I'd buy it. Maybe some years down the road when Gert is done!

That's rougher than two nights in jail. Although, I like em that way (or that's all I can afford to get into to). The toughest part to me would be the roof skin. Do they even repop those?

I think he misplaced the decimal point. That car is worth $25,000.00, at least!

Me too. Aren't those boss markings on the side? Maybe true boss or just a clone?

I have seen other Flintstonemobiles go cheaper. As was said earlier Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

CL is great until YOU want to sell something~ When selling something, before anyone has seen what I have in person to sell, is "What's the least you'll take?" Then never show up! argh!

I love this line.... "The car is a solid rolling chassis. The car has the usual mustang rust"

Kats66Pny · « **Reply #13 on:** February, 23, 2011, 07:22:12 AM »

I really need to stop looking on craigslist but dangit I can't help it!!

That could turn out to be one helluva fun car after it was all fixed up.

Or I could spend $2000 on stuff like an air compressor, a welder, etc.

Dne' · « **Reply #14 on:** February, 23, 2011, 07:59:02 AM »

Kat, I know exactly how you feel! I go on CL alot just to see what's out there, but we have to be strong, continue with what we have~ you can get your car going! "never give up, never surrender!" And yes, you need the equipment to do the job!! After what I've spent, and many others here, we can easily add up in our head what it's going to take to put a rusty stang back on the street! ching ching! That's why they become long term projects~

+1 regarding spending time looking at Craigs List. I look all the time with zero intentions of buying anything. Just window shopping and keeping an idea of what the market is doing for certain types of cars (like Mustangs and Trans Ams in particular)

The sad thing about Craigs list is if you want to find out exactly how many idiots are out there in the world, list a car for sale on CL sometime.

If it were me Kat, I'd invest the money in tools and / or getting Gert up to snuff.

I like the 1970 cars but what I've always really wanted to redo if I ever get the money is a '57 Chevy. A friend in high school had one that was bad a** and would run high 11's in the quarter. Takes a ton of money though to build a motor that will take a heavy car like that down the track that fast. Part of the reason I wouldn't mind having one is I see request all the time for organizations having fundraiser sock hops that you can't take a '60 model Mustang to help out.

If I ever had the money... I'd want a Morgan Roadster.

Another dream car of mine since I was the movie War of the Roses years and years ago. lol

Think of all the time you would save since you don't have to cut the floor out... errr.

RustyRed · « **Reply #18 on:** February, 23, 2011, 02:46:53 PM »

Well heck Kat...if you're going to look at Mustangs why not swing for the fence?

Not to go off course too much but read the 2nd paragraph in the following CL ad.

OK back to yakkin about Mustangs on CL.

Kats66Pny · « **Reply #21 on:** February, 24, 2011, 10:55:33 AM »

Ha!!

I really need to stop but CL is like a train wreck. You don't want to look but you can't help yourself.

http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/2227505834.html

I wonder how "nice" the body is, cowl vent, etc.

guruatbol · « **Reply #23 on:** March, 01, 2011, 02:23:32 PM »

Well you know if you find just the right old car to replace your sebring, that runs and looks good, you may have something there.

I find some deals out there every now and then that I tell SWMBO that I could drive daily. Some from early 60s and some from 40s and 50s.

The problem is to get a good one you have to spend a bit of cash which could be spent on Gert.

Sometimes you can find a driver coupe for cheap. Like the 69/70 I'm not sure what year from looking at it. It is in town and looks to be pretty nice from the road, but until I get the nerve to look at it close and then try to deal with the guy, I'll never know.

Since it is a coupe if it was a DD type of car, I could just do maintenance on it like any other used car while I finish ED.

All irrelevant while medical bills are piling up.

Run run run away from any car that doesn't have a title.
