I once bought a 1969 Chevy Pick-up for $13.78 that's thirteen bucks and seventy eight cents!

I asked the guy what he wanted for the truck, he told me to bring over a case of Miller Lite beer and you can have it! All the truck needed was a hard line for the brakes replaced! It wasn't the slickest truck in the world but it ran and drove like a million bucks. I drove that 'ol truck for couple a years and sold it so my girl friend (now ex) could have a down payment for a new car! Damn I miss that 'ol truck!

I also bought a 67 Caddy Coupe De'Ville for $80 bucks!

Best deal for me was three (3) Corvairs (1960 4 door, 1963 coupe and 1964 Spyder) for $5 TOTAL in 1968. I was able to actually drive one home. The other two ran but were not driveable. Used the motors on my dune buggy/scrapped the bodies.

 

first car was a 64 falcon2-door wagon with a 260 v8 automatic paid $400.00 for it when i was 14 and drove it till i was a sophmore in high school then bought a 58 ford pickup custom cab big back window which i still have and paid $ 1400.00 for it and that was 25 years ago and now my son and i are making a gasser out of it pretty cool i think!

They are still out there. I search Craigslist all the time, and there are good seals to be had!!

 

Buddy got a '37 coupe with a fairly decent main body and frame, had been a stock car, for $300 in 2007. Doors aren't welded up, it would need a parts car to make a rod out of it but for a vintage stock car, just put a drivetrain in it and go. (I wouldn't run it too hard, the cage in it is made out of household water pipe!).

 

I wish these were still around that price.....My boss is restoring one and i wont mention the amount of $$$$$$$$$ he's put into...

 

Anybody get anything 1949 and under in the past 5 years in california? (Sorry if someone already posted one.) Didn't see where everybody's from scrolling down. Some states come across better deals than others. I think.

 

Or I should say, Los angeles county?

 

6 months ago i got my 50 fleetline for $650 w/ windows, motor, trans, 2 sets of wheels COMPLETE even the orig. cig lighter is in it and all the paperwork in the glovebox up intell 1974 when it was parked 2 tires still holding air lol

 

in the 80's / early 90's
70 olds cutlass s $50 needed an engine, swapped in the parking lot in college
71 Triumph TR6 ran fine as any of them ever did might have been $1600
67 mustang fastback 6cyl $1100 needed brakes had new paint

under $1500 right now? I'd look for a dart or duster maybe oh wait o/t
I'd look for a shoebox ford or any complete car in need of total restoration should be able to find one under $1500 easily

 

Back in the day (1977), my '53 Ford truck for $300 while I was in H.S. In '80, a '56 Ford truck for $800. Got into vans for awhile and picked up a '64 GMC Flat window for $1200 in '82. In '91, I picked up another '53 Ford truck for a grand and in the 21 century, I got a '59 Ranchero for $1500. A bug here and a bug there for a grand or less but these days, I can actually afford a decent car but it cost me a few more zeros. I like the ones with 2 or less though, more fun and less stress in the parking lot lol!

 

I paid $375.00 and a days work for the olds, from a carlot in Reno NV

 

my shoebox ford. $250.00, about nine years ago. the funny thing is i split it three ways with two other friends, so i guess i really only paid $83.33.

 

Not quite traditional but I got this for $1,100 drove it 2 hours home to San Diego with no tailights in the middle of the night. No issues. Traded it staright accross for my 54 6 months later.

 

1976 chevy wagon for 500.00 new 400 sbc in it and a rebuilt 400 trans and new front-end it was the worst rotten car i ever had but ran great drove it for 2 years then sold it to chop olds cld partner he put the motor and trans in chirs ,s 41 ford and will put the frame under his olds
