Classic Cars

[DirtySouthDeacon]

Do any of you own a classic car? I have kind of a once in a life time opportunity to get a sweet 72 Olds convertible at a good price. It needs some work, but I cant shake the idea of it. Of course my wife thinks it will just be a money pit and I can see her point.

No, but I want to own a classic one of these days. I say do it!

My dad had a 68 or 69 Dodge Coronet RT but he traded it in when my brother was born. Needed a family car...

I do not own a classic car.

Is there a question here?

If I had somewhere to park it, I would definitely get an old roadster like an MG, Austin-Healey, Fiat, Triumph, Alfa, etc. But it's not like any of those could be a reliable first car so I'll probs never have one.

My first car was a 1966 Mustang and it was the biggest money pit ever, but it was a sweeet car. You definitely need to have some ability to maintain the car yourself (which ability I did not have) and be prepared to be without the car for days at a time while it is getting serviced or repaired. Also, it had no AC, no real sound system, was probably dangerous as fuck, leaked when it rained, and you smelled like gasoline for the rest of the day when you got out of the car. But, people always stopped me in parking lots wanting to buy it off me, so that was cool.

Pretty close to this but yellowish tan.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Are you going to park it in your imaginary garage or in the yard ?

Agreed. I do miss it from time to time (e.g., driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway) although the lack of AC would kill me now. Also, in retrospect, I can't believe I didn't die in that car.

My buddy had a classic 911 without AC and lived in Tampa. It was unbearable. Did your car even have seatbelts?
