I Think this will be my every day driver

A 1965 Olds 98 with 47,000 miles on her....425 motor. 380hp
The ride on this thing is like a brick shit house on a magic carpet

3000 bucks. Everything solid. Back rear window doesn't open

If you run across a 63 Galaxie in he same shape for about the same price, let me know. It was my first car (not this one), and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it was my last.

Those are getting so hard to find. Dumb luck is about the only way anymore unless you want to pay 20k or North

I would never pay more than 5 grand for any of these cars
 
In a heartbeat I would drive that puppy
I used to drive a Cadillac Coup Deville, 500 Cu in under the hood, green in color, all 4 springs were shot, interior needed some work, but paid $1,500 for it as it had 80,000 miles by a little old lady who passed away. It only cost about $1,000 to put springs on the back, but would of cost over $3,000 for you had to pull the engine out to put the front springs on. So i had a high back end and wore out the front tires quickly. 10 miles to the gallon and i was paying a dollar a gallon to fill up a 25 gallon tank. On a bad day, i got 10 gallons to the mile.

See boat below.

The memories that car would spark would easily be worth 5 grand.
