 Re: help for old american muscle cars

the thing is, i dont know much about cars and a lot less about old cars, if you guys could give me some hints on which car could be good or what is important to know about old cars i would apreciate it. thanks alot www.craigslist.com You can find some that people have refurbished and selling. Depends what your price range is though, and you have the ability to bargain with the price seeing its a personal sale, but there are some things you should look into if you do choose to find 1 particular car thats nice. -Research its background for all known problems with that car -Bring someone along for a second opinion or someone that knows the car -If you have a mechanic friend, Bring him along too! lol -Make a check list of all the known found problems with that years model and go through the car your looking at and check them all off yes or no for the problems Than go to www.kbb.com and judging on what condition you think the car is in based off everything you have researched and found, grade the car on that website, than it will give you a rough estimate on what the car is worth. Now depending on how rare the car is really depends on the price after its been refurbished, if not bargain the F*CK out of the price either way.

 Re: help for old american muscle cars
well actually i dont want a car that is in showroom condition, the goal of buying a old car for my father and i is to bring it back to an awesome condition, see what i mean? we just want to find a car that is 20,000$ or less to be able to work a lil bit on it. the only thing we want is that we could still drive it, and it wouldnt be all rusted or worst.

You can EASILY find a old american muscle car like you want for Under 10 grand Lecoq haha, I see them on craigs ALL the time. Go to Craigs list, find where ever you live and search in cars, you will find shitloads of old american muscle. One you can work on, Ive actually been looking for a old Nissan 280zx Turbo to work on, shit moves and looks so nice after its been cleaned up. But If your looking for a project car, www.craigslist.com is THE BEST imo

 Re: help for old american muscle cars
2.5 rs 2002 hatchback, i could get you some pictures, ill link them tomorrow ;)
really sweet sound, its a hatchback, but still, im driving an AWD in a perfect condition (no scratch or broken parts) and we actually have a LOT of snow over here!!! (having lots of fun too :P ) + it sounds like a subaru ;) so it sounds like it still has an engine in it, im planing to put a p-flow on august or a new muffler, would sound a way better, + ill buy mags on mid-march ;) got my new set of summer tires, love my car
but yeah im trying to find a muscle car for my father to work on it + im saving money to buy 1 to work it up too, after college ill take car mechanic courses and im planing to work on a nova SS just like my father used to have when he was younger (he got a car crash with it D': )
car is a pation, i dont know much about them, yet. dreaming about big projects, but if it's a pation, it will be done im not worried about it ;)

 Re: help for old american muscle cars
actualy i was suprised at the amount of classic cars here in hawaii.
ran into a 69 Plymoth Satalite being sold for 800 bucks about a year ago, and they keep popping up on craigs list here in hawaii. from about the 80s and on, the japanese culture consumed hawaii so you see alot of jap made beaner-racers but there are alot of pre-war cars here. If your pappy dont mind the shipping cost, you could probably find a really good project car here in hawaii.
its not really a classic car, but i fixed up and am currently driving a 91 Pontiac F-Series Firebird. Its classic enough for me and my budget lol.

Back in the day, you could tell how fast a car was by how close it was to stalling out when it was in neutral. If you heard a car burbling next to you at a light loud enough that you cringed because of the noise, you were gonna get fucked up. That shit is a real car.

And smelled the raw gas coming out of the exhaust. Sorry kids but there is no replacement for displacement. One of the guys I work with just finished restoring a 71 340 Challenger R/T (and cleaning out my garage of old MOPAR go-fast goodness) to go along with his 09 SRT8.

Hey turkey is there a problem with Sea Salt erosion in Hawaii? I would think so because its a island haha, If so that sucks because older cars would get dominated from it if not taken care of

 Re: help for old american muscle cars
dude, stop thinking about salt everywhere just like you said a couple posts ago... good ppl keep their car clean enough to take care of this lil prob... yes here in quebec, our cars get rusted cuz of the salt, but if you can take care of your car just lil bit, it will stay clean.
if i'd have an old muscle car, dont worry dude, the car wouldnt even see snow, it would stay in a warmed garage, covered with somethin, and it wouldnt even touch the ground so my man, salt is no big deal, rly.

 Re: help for old american muscle cars
Yah dude no doubt, i was just curious if there were problems with it in Hawaii because there is In Australia sometimes with the older imports.
I know that 240sx's are notorious for rust/rot, like most older cars. But no doubt in Feb when i buy my 240 im going to keep it in the garage and never let it even see snow
