Just bought a new ride
Just bought a '72 Scamp for $1K myself. Solid car, originally owned by a friend's mom's friend ('mom' is 86). The interior was removed, prepped, re-sealed, painted and new body plugs. Even inside the trunk was done- my buddy I bought it from is very meticulous, the paint job is like glass. After that, he decided to prep the exterior...it's 90% done. So I am taking straight from his garage to a painter I know so it will get finished.
There are some deals floating around out there.
