One For MC (Mark)


This is still a bit of an old man's carsmile, but I wouldn't mind it. Great stats ... good price.

Wow, Darryl, that does look like a lot of car for the money (literally biggrin)!  I would bet it would be one of the most comfortable cruisers you could find anywhere.

If is as good as it looks and sounds, it is a great deal, and with the 350 it shouldn't be too bad on gas... (cough cough)... at least it's not 455-level mileage.

Very interesting... thanks!  smile

A set of 15" Buick rallys would really jazz that car up. I'm too tapped out right now for any toys. Moving is brutally expensive!

I was seriously considering looking at it as a cheap cruiser to get back into the hobby, but had company from out of town on the weekend (and last week).  Couldn't just up and leave everybody to chase an old car (as I would have in the ol' days... lol).  It's showing sold on the ad now, so it looks like somebody got a good deal!

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Darryl, I appreciate the consideration.

 Agreed.  Not a super exciting car, but at the selling price of the original ad, it would have been a nice comfortable cruiser for somebody on a limited budget (like myself) to be able to enjoy the hobby with.

Now, with the second buyers profit added in, not so much.

Oh well, at the new price at least it won't be turned into a derby car.  wink

This one sure gets around!  Seems like nobody wants to keep it for themselves yet they all seem to think that somebody else wants to pay more for it than they did... biggrin

 Nah... it was closer to me when it was in PEI.  It's up near Woodstock now... maybe the next buyer will be in Quebec...

Besides, with each successive flip it's becoming way too expensive for me!  biggrin

Just as well, it's not really "my thing" anyways... I've bought old cars before because they were "good deals" and ended up getting bored and selling them a year or two later for what I paid for them.  I've changed my focus a little over the summer and fall - I want the next one I get to be a keeper, so I'm trying to be careful to not "impulse buy" another old car just to have one....
