prefectopop Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 As some of you know I am not Old Skool Ford to the bone. I (and please don't hurt me) have both Ford (100E) and Mopar. Maybe I am an Old Skool Forpar??? Anyway, I ramble. I have a '65 Dodge Dart, which I was informed was the only one in the country. Until yesterday. Five minutes down the road from Mitchville HQ I found a 65 Dart GT, like mine, in a garage. It looks rather sad and forlorn, with rusty rear quarters, quite a few bends in the panels, shot interior and no engine. Oh, and its a very flat and battered bronze colour which doesn't really add anything to the overall effect. So anyway, the guy wants to sell it. £600. This is the question. Do I say "oh well there we go mine's not the only one in the country, but at least its the nicest" and walk away. Or do I go against my better judgement, buy it, have the bits that are nicer on it than on mine, lock it away in a garage and make plans to turn it into a race car? Decisions, decisions...
mk1super Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 If you have the money buy it an then you can say you have them both I'd not go and build it into anything too lairy i'd go pro touring with it make it your road one and the mint one leave to sunny use only
Retro-gone. Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 easy, if you can afford it buy it for spares
mk2_escort_chick Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 If you have got the room and the money-then get it. But what do I know? I like fluffy kittens
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Mate, I would buy it if you have the dosh and poke it away for something to fiddle with if you have the room
Slammed Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 But what do I know? I like fluffy kittens PMSL got the money?got the space? got no wife? BUY IT!
prefectopop Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Posted July 20, 2008 If you have got the room and the money-then get it.But what do I know? I like fluffy kittens Indeed. KNOW YOUR LIMITS!!! I've had a really long think today. I can't really afford it but the guy has had it sat in his garage for the last 5 years so I don't think a couple of months will make any difference to him to give me time to get some funds. I think I'd be silly not to buy it even if its just a spares car for mine. Maybe strip it down and store all the good parts as wings/doors/everything is unobtainable, then be rid of the shell...
Gonzo Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!! Oh, and don't scrap the shell if it's even vaguely saveable. Cuz you'll kick yourself for a loooooooooooong time if the shit hits the fan and you bend the one you've got...
