I loved the yellow one!!<br />I really want a car from the 60's and my other half always says "NO they will cost too much in gas" We have had the same conversation at least 4 times. hahaVintage Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066185329988715511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-31093239643352916372010-10-16T13:49:24.908-04:002010-10-16T13:49:24.908-04:00You might be surprised what you can find if you ca...You might be surprised what you can find if you can get beyond the most popular and priciest stuff. Just about anything with 4 doors is less popular and affordable. Next time you're cruising ebay, check out the collectible car section on ebay, and sort by all cars and choose cars 50 miles within your zipcode. But before you do any of that, start cultivating someone who has some experience restoring old cars who can look at a car objectively.Uncle Atomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727387676551708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-60231616367291687412010-10-16T13:01:04.250-04:002010-10-16T13:01:04.250-04:00Ahhh if only I was able to get that 1950's For...Ahhh if only I was able to get that 1950's Ford I saw in a neighbors back yard, running condition, back in 1982. BF at the time, decided his buddy needed it more, and buddy bought it out from under me. I no longer have the BF, and the car was totaled less than a year later. What a shame... =(<br /><br />I don't have what it takes to get and fix a fixer-upper, so I will have to buy cherry, meaning big $$$ if I get lucky enough to get a classic car.<br /><br />But what fun you seem to be having with yours!1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.com
