I have to say, I have that junkie itch again! After not driving a classic for 10 years I have to have one. I thought I kicked the habit but I am having a relapse.
I'm looking for my first love again, a '65 or '66 fastback. I love my '68 (still not done), but I originally wanted the first fastback. I thought the prices had come down, but I looked at my first fastback, a '65, last week. Talk about overpriced. Wanted $27k. Rear frame rails were crunchy by the rear shackles, passenger floor pan was soft, fold down seat chrome was rusty, etc. Car was IMHO worth $15k.
Long story short I'm looking for a turn key car, I have no time to restore one (had my '68 for 15 years and still a basket case). I don't mind paying for one, so long as it is worth the money. I want solid car to daily drive, so nothing rare. Bone stock is fine so I can customize it. Please tell me this is possible for $20k or so??
I'm in South Jersey btw.
