So I was planning on adding another car to the collection today but alas it wasn't meant to happen. Looked at an 88 AMC Eagle wagon last weekend in the wet and dreary sky and the price seemed not too far off. Headed out today to make a deal and it it looked a lot worse. Rust from places I didnt see first, milky oil, ect. Motor issue didnt bother me since I was told it had some blowby and wanted to rip the 4.2 AMC out and do a 5.3/4l60e swap but. Said what I wanted to pay, guy took it as insulting and I dont own an AMC.

Its funny when people brag about how a car has had nothing but good owners for 25 years but the car is a pile. Maybe its just me but when a car has no exhaust past the cat with a downturn, no headliner, ripped up seats, broke hood latch, shot door hinge pins, wore out motor, bent bumper, surface rust starting in the doors, and didnt take the time to wash the dust off the car, the owner obviously isnt somebody that cared about the car. Just because it runs and drives and is 25 years old doesnt mean its worth anything.

The search continues for fun 4wd winter beater!

I've been wondering, if my Doctor wrote a prescription for medical grade Nitrous Oxide, would my Medicare drug plan would pay for it? Dr Frankenstein might be able to do it. Anything goes in South Florida, the Medicare fraud capital of the country.

Well guys, I sold the car today :< 1100$ is all I could manage to get for it in the time I've got. I guess my Nissan is more important... You guys have been great and will hopefully see the new owner her on the board...


As for me, I think I my going to get a 66 cadillac or a 73 Monte Carlo next, because bricks are expinsive neeeedy cars, but I love em and watched the owner do a burnout in it, and I was actually suprised it did I'd well (sucks I didn't get a vid of it)

All in all take care Yo!

 

[dr_frankenstein]

yea as if the caddy isnt expensive.... or that 73 monte.... better re-think that one

Why you say that? A 429 or a 350 are fairly simple engines, that even I can work on.

and the rest of the body? have you priced out parts for the caddy? my wife has the same year and it has been just as expensive as the rest

 

[MNcarbturbo]

Cars=money. If you cant do EVERYTHING yourself or pay somebody else to do EVERYTHING I would stay out of the hobby. Trying to cross over never works because it gets expensive fast when you pay somebody else to do it. Just saying, if you dont have the shop capabilities to fix the buick you shouldnt get into anything else. If you cant fix it if the crank snaps in half I would stay out of it.

It was a learning experience kid. Right now it's not within your scope of abilities but in the future it may be. Once you get older you will be able to look back and start another project and this one will serve to help you do that one.
