Re: If you had 10K for a car...

That would be a easy cloan, if you could find the right car...ie no green interiors, or landau windows (where the stripe has to run)

Id find a nice 73-87 Chevy truck and lay it out

Short bed, of course.

I would use the 10k to put a boosted ls 6.0 into my F-150.

My first car was a 71 Satellite Sebring. I liked their look better than the later ones. Good luck finding one that hasn't been turned into a Road Runner or GTX clone already. They want way too much money for them too.

I have to say, I always found those very attractive. I guess I should add a 4th one to my list. See, that's why I said it's so tough to narrow down the list!

I always wanted a big convertible, prefer a caddy ('65/'75) or a Chevy ('63/'75)

by Dinomyte Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:36 am

Convertible, now we're talking, '68 Corvette Stingray 427 L88 of course.

Enough room for me, my wife, and um ..... who needs anything else?

Unless it hit a tree at 50 mph, you would not be scoring that for $10,000.

Id also like a 67-68 impala with a 427, 4spd and 4.88s. 50s on the back to just rip up pavement.

65 66 Biscayne with a nice bb and a four speed

As a kid, my neighbor's dad had one of those, I hated his guts...I'll always associate that car with evil. What a Face

I've seen several 65-70 Impalas/Bel Airs/Biscaynes/Caprices around here on CL in good condition under 10k. Including a couple of SSs.

I can dream can't I?

All right then '68 Olds Cutlass Convertible, red with black top. Not even a 442

Shortbed or longbed, I have no preference. Actually I really want a CC dually but theres no chance in hell of fitting one in my garage

Lol, yeah hence my comment about it not fitting in my garage, my 73 just fits with enough room to walk in front of it. I think I could maybe get about 1/3 of that truck in the garage.

by 77mali Sat Dec 13, 2014 10:15 am

I love one of those trucks. Not too many good ones out there these days though.

by 77mali Sat Dec 13, 2014 10:49 am

Here's a few nice ones!

I always wanted one of those COE trucks, but I think it would burn through 10k pretty quick just to get it sound and reliable.

I spent way way more than that this past year alone all most 3 times that amount. You would die if you knew how much I have spent on my car since I picked it up in December of 2006. I Have had 5 engines in 4 trans mission's and got so fed up with most of them I went all brand new this time around.

by 1973montec Tue Dec 30, 2014 9:33 pm

he would of spent more to if he could. but he is old school. hes not the LS kinda guy.
