Ebay finds, why do am I being taunted?

The first is a little weird, but I can't help but think about how great it would be to buy a basically brand new car for 6K, and having a 75 mile round trip to work and back, this thing would work great.

This one really has me going

Both within a half hour drive from my parents' house, even mostly the same direction.

The '51 would be awesome to drive to work everyday, Ebay, why do you taunt me?

Why couldn't I have got a job three months earlier right out of school? I'd have saved up enough by now for the Wayfarer. Either that or have an '85 Shelby Charger in my driveway that I found a few weeks ago.

that model dodge.. I was remembering that from someplace.

it was like all the others in that design. clutch 100k, hg, gasket stuff...water pump
if the crank isn't bent, keep on going to the sloppy head noise.

the one in ad has some time left..fuel saver.

The '51 Dodge is way cool, and I'm not even a Mopar guy! But the 2004 doesn't do a thing for me.

It's a '94, and it's mostly the really low miles that got me. And it's small and light. A stripper model, that when it gets higher miles, I may be able to find a 392 Hemi for it like the one on the blog a while back. (Edit: but it is mostly Japanese).

I really want the '51.

I don't think it's weird at all. In the retirement community I work for there are lots of old ladies with super low mileage small cars, some are kind of cool. When I finally get tired of putting $76 worth of gas in the Crown Vic every 10 days I'll probably end up with a small DD again.

Hey, I know where Mountaintop is! Not too far from me in PA. There's a guy selling a 53 Chrysler with 49,000 miles for $3400 right off RT29 in Susquehanna county. The guy also has a 63 Imperial convertible with factory 4 speed!

Thanks for talking me out of it

Now if only someone other than my wallet would talk me out of the '51

The listing says the back seat is showing "sin damage". I don't want to know.

A ton of old timers learned to drive on three speed sticks on the column. The frugal generation of the depression era didn't spend money on options like automatic transmissions.
