Name your price. Go with a wad of bills and say that's all you got. You may get lucky

Thats what I'm thinking, I don't really need it, but its a cool looking car(its lowered and I'm a sucker for a lowered car). Original 194, 2speed auto in it too, might be better on fuel than my biscayne, and definatly better than my wagon...LOL

I find when I don't really need it....That's when I get the best deal.
A 4 door is not on alot of guys have to have. A buddy had the same car that was handed down to him. A blue 4 door that he stuffed a V8 into and you couldn't even move it without spinning those stock rims with hubcaps.

the other one I'm interested in is a 1968 Strato Chief wagon, that guy is thinking around $1500, and its in super nice condition. 327, auto and the body is real nice. But its a waiting game with him, someone told him that because its a 327, its a corvette motor. His is a 2bbl, and nothing fancy, it in a plain jain wagon.

If your looking at a wagon for a winter beater, you should be looking at a 70's Toyota biggrin

I just seen on the news last night that all these greedy Ah**es that run the stockmarket have been losing their shirts have put the rest of their money in oil. Putting it at $120 a barrel for no reason, but saving their own ass and doing in the rest of the country.

Is there such a thing as a 1970's Toyota? smile

I thought they were all piles of rust by now? Same as the 70's Hondas and Datsuns!

I had an 81 Corolla 2 door wagon for 6 years. Wouldn't die until the rot monster ate it.
I called it my Asian Nomad!

Gonna call this guy tomorro , maybe check out the car, but hes asking $2600....A little too much, me thinks

Too bad your not in Ontario. My brother's 63 Acadian Canso with 37,000 orig. miles can be bought for $2500

sixtywagon · Uber Guru

It looks Great, but its not lowered and in primer...LOL, All kidding aside, my friends wouldn't expect me to drive something that looks as good as your brothers Acadian...(Gotta find me some new friends, LOL)

455gto · Poncho Master!

Maybe this car is one your friends expect you to be driving

It's a 71 Lemans that needs work and the guy wants $2700 for it.

The 63 Acadian is coming back home to me in a few weeks. I made a deal with my bro and got the old Canso back. I checked the odometer it is at 36,600. Car was never left outside and was in storage for over 25 years. The original owner never drove much between 63 and 82 when she traded in back in.

Earl,
Let me know when it's back to your place. I want to see it. I might just have to ask for forgiveness....

eeluddy · Uber Guru

Hi Todd. Sure will let you know. It's a hard car to resist because of the "cuteness" factor. The interior really knocks people out.I have the original documents here at the house, come have a look. It really needs a good cleaning on the chassis and oiling up.

Todd lets do a road trip , when you are off on Oct. We can pretend, I bought it, and need to store it at your shop confused
