Whelp, I've finally finished all of my projects and am lookin to buy another project car. I had luck finding a project car on here last time and am hoping it'll work again. Does anyone know of any cheap (less than 7,000) early 70's and back cars around the area that would make a good next project vehicle? Ive been watchin ebay as well as the trader and havent seen too much of anything that isn't overpriced or a rust bucket. Lemme know if yall have seen anything or know of anyone that would be willing to get rid a decent project.

should've asked me about two months ago, my buddy had a 71 skylark custom he was looking to get rid of, including a 455 block he had planned on rebuilding. It was borderline in the "rustbucket" factor though, needed a new quarterpanel and a paint job.

thanks for ideas....i forgot to even check craiglist and the surplus....i might actually go check out the catalina, itll have to be cheap though, not exactly what i had in mind but for the right price would be a fun project

catalina looks badass (cept the rims)

2/20/2006 1:07:07 AM

optmus, what is your infatuation with those fucking nigger pontiacs anyway?

just wonderin'.

2/20/2006 5:28:08 PM

they are cool...duh

I went and looked at that catalina coupe and the interior is rough. Somone started it and it sounded pretty good but I overheard something about smoke when it starts up. I don't know if this was about this car or alittle honda someone else was looking at. If you didn't want a 70's car I would look at the damn older 7series bmw on 20's they have. It looked good from what I saw.

at the auction i always tell people who are looking at the same car i am that it smokes and shit so they dont bid




underpsi whats your infatuation with the nsx? or that sorry excuse for a truck you have? i mean theres only 10 billion of them chevy trucks around.

your wife is customer of the month at shlongy's deli.

I said it in the surplus thread and I'll say it again. That Catalina is badass.

2/20/2006 7:51:29 PM

^that reminds me that i forgot to mention....only interested in 2 doors

doesn't look too bad with the rear handles shaved but still doesn't have the appeal of a two door
