ya i know i have run the paint sceems through my mind a hundred times but i've had my "head up my ***" about chyrsler my whole life...but this has me thinkin different..
We should just kill the cats curiosity and at least get you within drooling distance on this one ponch! Wouldnt hurt. Don't ponder too long tho...we don't need another "the one that got away" on your list! like I said name the time n place and I am there in the support vehicle n plates!... GNU
Also had a blast last night rollin to Vancouver. Aside from the sticky needle n seat combo and a possible float problem. Pat cheer up dude! why so glum? were the Blue Oyster bouncers denying your I.D. again?
Yo CG check this out... had the wife replace my old carb on the Wildcat tonight... I stood back n took pics.. love women who like to wrench! damn!! eh? Hope this 1405 Edelbrock ...manual werks better than the last autoline ****e!!!
hey poncho how's it goin man! I see you've finally noticed that chrysler in the buy and sell,i've been keeping an eye on that one myself,watching as the price comes down if i had the money i woulda bought it a month ago.I hope you get it ,it looks like a really cool car,maybe even has the hemi in it.mopars from the 50's are real good cars,i had a 56 plymouth and it was super reliable and went pretty good too!
Poncho why don't you buy my 60 biscayne and I'll come over and buy the 59.I know where theres a 64 galaxie wagon over here thats pretty kewl........Shiny
Poncho.......can you mount the plaque from the top of the back window?? I think it would look good that way, don't you Nailhead?
Yeah I have a few extra plaques kickin round.....lets not pressure CG into this one. I understand where he is coming from (buy it) Lets give him some time to breath (GET IT YOU TARD) and make up his mind without outside influences ( Jesus man buy it!) There's nothing worse than to have a bunch of people pressuring you on a purchase!! (buy buy buy buy buy buy) I think this one will turn out for the best. (if you don't get it I will) (IMA GETTIN A LOAN TODAY!) Hey I look good beside this thing!
Poncho - I would to see one of those kustomized. I have been looking for one for awhile down here. This is a pic of me and my dads 59 Saratoga back in '63,
That beauty looks like a 58 New Yorker by the grill. I posted that old pic months ago and the HAMB was very helpful in ID'ing it for me.
FRAZ, Thats looks so kill. I think I have a new scheme for my 59' Buick. I have the wheels already... just need some kool kustom home made spinners from 3 different caps. I like the idea of reversing my steelies as well.. i saw that back on a post in the summer... hmmm Craig we need to do this.
Hey dixiedog, You sure that's not a 60 right? I still have my moms first car and it's a 60 Saratoga 4 door just like that.
Craig, if you buy it you'll have to change your handle. "Saratoga" doesn't quite have the same ring as "poncho"
ponch!!!get off your newly married ars and get it before i do DAM thats slick !!at least it's cool enuff to roll....... until? the Reverand
Stalk his house if you hafta.Craig that thing is so kewl.I know you said you've never liked MOPARS,thats cuz you've always had slow cruisers.Yuo've never really needed real horsepower like a dodge makes.You've just needed a GM product to putt around in.This thing kicks ***.Get it today and don't be afraid of the power,just half throttle it for now!LOL.hahahaha.........Shiny

[/ QUOTE ] Gowjob - Youre right on that, my memory is going faast, mom and dad are long gone so all i have is pic from 63. But I do remember dad talking about his 60 Chrysler. Thanks - time to keep looking
Poncho I'm on the other side of the fence on this one. NEVER buy a car your not %110 into or because it's cheap and you've got the bread, chances of "it growing on you" are slim it will probably just piss you off. I let my guard down once and bought a chrysler ONCE. Years ago I brought a 66 charger out of Wa because: I sold my car and had the cash, it was dry and I thought I could make a buck. It was nothing but a headache and thorn in my side, that car ****ed. I just wasn't into it and had a hell of a time getting rid of it. Not down on the saratoga but that's a BIG car with lots of power options that are now 44 years old and more than likely all kinds of hacks have probably been up under her door panels and dash trying to fix'er up. As you know playing with cars is supposed to be fun but it loses it's lustre quickly when your dealing with all the typical issues that generally arise and it just plain ****s if you've got some wet, rusty heap out in the driveway that you don't want anymore and nobody else does either. If your lookin for a new sled ask yourself, What do I really want? Then grab it. P.S. Gary there's a 65? Buick 2drhdtp with skirts, been sitting a long time, behind the ****py Tire at SW Marine and Laurel, doesn't look to bad...
thanks wideglide..i p***ed on it anyway.i just couldnt do it ,ya know..i mean i was thinkin' it would be a sick lookin' taildragger..but its a ****in' chrysler so..i know exactly what you are sayin'..i just bought a '62 pontiac wagon tonight anyway so im good for now...later,,,,,craig
