Replying to: boomchek (Jan 07, 2009 12:05 pm) MGB - Those hood pins just don't look right Junk M3 - why bother? Mustang - 100' photos, too scary up close! BMW 630 - OK, how many '77 630s have you seen sell for $30k? Cutlass - 'Car complete minus engine'... |

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 07, 2009 12:05 pm) MGB-- might be a good buy if the rust isn't too bad. In the UK they wouldn't think twice about changing the oil and cutting out the rockers as a matter of habit. It's a unibody car though, so rust inspection is VERY important. Restore it? Only by yourself, as a hobby. 1999 M3 -- Acme Auto Wrecking. 71 Mustang -- doubtful it's worth it. Needs a look to be sure. Just go buy a nice one for little $$$. No reason you can't get a spiffy V8 coupe for $8K 78 Mini-- Acme Auto Wrecking 56 Imperial -- might be a good buy. Get noticed for real cheap! These were good cars. BMW 630 -- neither rare nor classic I fear. His estimate of value at $20K-$30 is sheer lunacy, beyond even exaggeration. Nobody cares about these cars, which is too bad. Nice highway cruisers, good engines, pricey to restore. Major defect includes driveshaft problems, marginal AC and electrical bugaboos. Better that you buy a nice one already done for $6,000 or so. 72 Cutlass -- might be a good buy. Worth a look. Once done it might be worth $25K--$30K if you do it up nice. Not a 442. Me? I'd just fix it up, get a decent quickie paint job and enjoy it for what it is. 1972 is post Golden Years. Stop at $15K total investment or don't bother to start.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 07, 2009 12:41 pm) The Saab 900s were cool cars to me when I was very young. Wanted to have one (well, my family to have one). Now here's my chance...NOT. The Mustangis very tempting at $800, but yeah, the photos from 100' away might be a hint.
