both of those caddies are rad, but, also incredibly bad on gas. i may have a short commute, but that'd be like driving the car i have now and just throwing handfuls of cash out the windows every couple miles.

This is what my current project is:


It's not from the 70's, but it is a 1980 model.

I just wanna say that cars from the late 60's and early 70's fucking owned. There will never be anything else like them. I personally think those few short years were the pinnacle of automotive design and expression. Yeah technology and electronics are cool and all but seriously, those cars had everything I'd ever need. I don't need satellite navigation or radio, voice activated controls, a million switches on my steering wheel, traction control or electronic stability control, etc. I'll always love old school.

/nostalgic thoughts

I need to own at least 1 or 2 of these cars before I die
67-69 Camaro (a guy I know sold his '68 and still has his '69...refuses to sell it to me)
68-70 Charger (My pops had a '68...I know he misses that car)
68-72 Chevelle or Skylark/Gran Sport
65-70 Impala SS (when I went to HS this one kid had a really clean one)
69-70 Marauder

allntrlundrgrnd

i always thought ramblers were pretty cool. a guy i used to work with picked one up for stupid cheap and it was in great condition. this was a few years ago, i dont know how the market for them is now.

Here's my cars for inspiration.

1974 Duster:
I paid $2650 for it, and put another $3500 worth of parts in it.
You can find them now for less than what I paid.
For example, a 318 auto '74 is going for about $2000 in beat driver condition.
a slant six '71 can be picked up for around $2500.
There are usually at least 6 for sale at any given time on craigslist.


1973 Satellite:
I paid $1700.
If you can find one, you can get it from about $2000 for a project/shell, to about $4500 for decent driver. The prices on these recently went up a bit.

HyperTek

i think that black car is a late nova?

72 charger
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/762632461.html

i like old 70s firebirds
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/car/762554538.html
probably harder to find compared to camaros and they cost more

It's a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu.

ericcastro

I would say the Dart or Swinger. i have always been a fan of thier boxier style. 2" drop with some pipes and your looking good. Nice and Cheap.

maybe a nova. no rake on it though. just lower it onto some older american style racing rims or mags.

muddafakka

If all else fails, there's always the late model Cutlass.

Yuri

Plymouth Furies are awesome and cheap.


More cars for inspiration



It would have been cool to be in the market when these were $1200 cars and people did this with them...

Agamemnon

Sorry. I guess I posted too fast. I should've added that the pics are not my actual cars. I used the pics as a reference due to the fact that I dont have access to my pics folder. However, I do daily a 1980 chevy malibu and that my oldschool project is a 1976 Toyota Celica. Back when they were still RWD.

muddafakka

What about an early 70's Monte Carlo?

Or get a late 70's model and be like Alonzo Harris in Training Day

BustedS13

update: checking out a '73 Plymouth Scamp tomorrow. 225 slant six. not much power but pretty much indestructible. car's got a little quarter rust (find me a 35 year old car that doesn't) and a radiator leak, $1200 OBO. give him a grand, put another $1500 or so into new rad/hoses, I/H/E, 4 barrel, patch the quarters, garage paint job... could be a fun little econo rocket. with a funny name.

If you are in SoCal, I've got some free parts for you.

If you buy it, check out forabodiesonly.com, best site for Chrysler A-bodies.
Nice color, I dread what's under the vinyl roof however.

BustedS13

saint louis >.<

and yeah, we'll see when i check it in person... i'd like to respray it charcoal with a black trunk stripe, or maybe olive drab since it's already practically that color. probably won't fuck with the roof just to avoid the horror show.

^No, fuck Vegas; Vegas are only good for being ugly all-out drag cars.

Ask me how I know.

The only way I'd ever buy one of these cars is if it resembled something I had seen out of a badass movie. Like dropping f-bombs everywhere, lots of guns, dialog, and suit wearing dudes kind of movie.


Oh, that first thing you posted is cool.

BustedS13

there's a guy right down the street who has a purple vega with something like 18" wide rubber on the back. if you look at it from the back, it looks like there's more rubber than axle. it's pretty dope.

Vegas can be pretty cool. I had one for a few years with a built 350. Was black with a cowl hood scoop and all shaved emblems. Ill see if I can find some pics when I get home.

Actually looking for one for my next project car.

krisdeezy

you should get one of these beasts !!!



cops never look at this !

240trainee

I plan on buying one of these this coming spring, after I get out of some debt.

Wanna make my dream a reality, semi truck air bags, overbuild suspension, so I can lay frame, or pump up the bags and town my 240 on a full trailer.

WAT?????
