what to buy for my wife
Matt, you'd be surprised at just how cheap B-bodies are right now!! I was informed of a 68 GTX in the next town over that had just come out of hiding after 27 years in a barn. 48,000 original miles, green on green on green on... anyway, the owner had pulled the motor, rebuilt it and had it on a stand. He had the doors and front fenders off and had started sanding on them, but nothing else had been touched. I asked him how much...$4500, and it was on craigslist!! When I went by the next day it was gone!! I asked the owner if it sold and he told me he was already tired of deadbeat callers offering 2K, that he decided to mothball it again. I left my number as I didn't think he was ready to sell anyway and told him to call me.
Next time I went by there in my GTX, I stopped and asked him if he still had the car, and he told me he fell on hard times and had to let it go. I asked him how much and his face went red....under 2K!!! I asked him why he hadn't called me and he told me he couldn't find my number. I pointed to where I wrote it on the garage wall and he turned white!! Good deals are still out there!!
Heres my 67 GTX, it's for sale to the right buyer, and mighty reasonable I think!! Geof
