Damn Craigslist!

I post these things occassionally in the Out House section, but I thought I'd do it here this time.

I regularly cruise the local Craislist ads (www.craigslist.org) just for kicks, and usually end up kicking myself for not having the cash or the garage space to buy some of the very cool deals that show up so often. I could make a huge list, but take these just as a for instance:

'72 Mustang fastback, ex race car, $1000: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/car/237647893.html

'38 Chrysler Coupe, rat rod project, too cool for $8k: http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/car/237824690.html

'69 Cougar, rebuilt 351C, needs work, $1600: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/car/235884896.html



'67 Cougar, very decent driver quality, $7500: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/235411720.html

'70 Torino GT, 351C/4bbl/9", needs work, $2500: http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/car/237995921.html

'70 Torino, driver quality, shaker hood, $4k: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/236562098.html

And a personal heartbreaker:
'72 Torino Sport, wicked black on black fastback, driver with lots of new stuff, $4500: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/235725760.html ...uugghhhhh... it's killing me.

I know they're mostly Ford products (because that's what I dig generally), but I think it's a good representation of the kind of stuff that can be found.

Isn't it amazing that in spite of the crazy money being spent on musclecars at auctions, and being thrown at building crazy show pieces and rolling works of art, you can still get some wicked cool cars that would be great to build for damn reasonable money!

Forget about "dare to be different"... how about just common sense (cents?) with "dare to be cool with some coin left in your pocket".

there was a 70 mach1 i think on there for 1200 mom and dad wouldnt let me buy it because we didnt have the space at the time >.< but they said i could get a 69 camaro if we move...

Oh, I would SO like to have a 69 Cougar again. Didn't get a chance to build it the way I wanted but IMO you could turn one into a sweet PT ride.

Any of those Torinos would be sweet!!

If only that Mustang had a title, I'd have a buddy of mine who lives in Seattle tow it here for me!

Yeah, but I just love the race vibe... black stealies with wide white lettered slicks, chrome Cragars up front, period stickers, blacked out hood. The patina looks perfect. Even without a title, it would make a killer track machine, either roadrace or drag.
