A hard time to find a car

Now that I finally got my temps and I can finally buy a car I can't find anything. Back when I wasn't Officially allowed I could find every car I wanted at the time. I don't want to jump on the first deal i find. I almost did that and would have lost a lot of money to. What do you guys suggest?

Sorry I thought you were 15, inside joke, ha ha. Well $4000 is not much but you can get a good car with that just not a fast one, at least not anymore. When I was 16 there was 1970 cars everywhere cheap too, but back to today. Have you thought about a GM or others or are you sure its a Mopar you want. $4000 well stay away from the dealers get one from a private owner, not one that sell cars everyday thats to start. GM 3.8 motors were ok when new, I had a 1988 olds 88 and it had a some power and we got 295,000 miles on it and was still running when we got sick of it leaking oil. 1992 air bags came in and power went down a bit. Olds even made a 2 door 88 but those a rare. Mopars were not so great, oh the turbos were ok but again those are worn out by now. These guys might not like this but if I was you and know not to much on cars and had $4000 to work with, I look at the GM cars before 1994 for the mid size and 1992 for the full size. 1990 was a good year for a lot of GM cars get a v 6 not the 4 bangers no matter how good it looks. 3.3 was a ok motor too.  If you get a mid 90's it have anti-lock brakes, air bags and other stuff that cost you so much when it breaks, so the 80's very early 90's is what I look for.Not sure where you live but 5 years ago or so the rear wheel drive Cutlass and other GM cars guys were dropping v 8 's in them and some ran good, but they are all rusted up now, I live in Michigan. No smog checks but rust everywhere even my 2000 has some rust now. If you can find one that has a 350 in it and don't have smog checks that be ok to have. I though GM steering stinks and those v6  GM put in did too, but some put in 350's form the 70's with a 3 speed trans . I would not buy one but if I was 16 I might.

Mustanghater, I personally know of 3 local Mopars I can get for 4k or less.  Locally.

If you want a Mopar bad enough, then stop being picky.  My first Mopar was a 68 Dart 4 door, that I payed 600 dollars for, running and driving.  4k is PLENTY.  4k should get you a decent shaped 318 powered 3rd gen.  It's certainly more than enough for a 318 powered A body.

Stop freaking bitching, get off your God damned ass, and actually put some effort into your search, for the love of all things holy!

I agree with dodge freak. If you want to find something with some balls that you can take to the strip and not get laughed at and still have a dependable driver that your not working on every other day than i would look towards a grand prix gtp. The 3800s are good running reliable engines and you can buy a mid 90s model for the amount you have. For me I would rather have something with abs and airbags if im going to be driving it everyday. Heres a link to one on ebay right now that could probably be bought for $4k if you waved it in his face.

Well thats a nice car IF he could get it for $4000, his revs. is up there I bet more like $7000. You now what -those cars are getting cheaper every month so if he can wait and keep his eyes open he find something. Sure ABS is nice when it works but when it breaks its $500 just for the master cyc. Maybe parts will get cheaper as the cars get older. Sometimes I forget its 2006 now, I was thinking of something that was 10 years older. 5 years from now there be all types of good cars for you, but yeah we know you are not going to wait that long.

73dodge

Dude

You have been posting for a year and a half about looking for a car. My advice to you is

1. Stop talking and start seriously LOOKING.

I realize being 16 you don't have a lot of options to go roaming the country side but I was looking through the Plain Dealer newspaper a few months ago and saw two not one but TWO 73 chargers for sale at 2 different times. One was going for 12,500 triple black and the other was going to 3000.00 as it needed work. Get a Tradin Times and look through that I bet you find three decent MOPARS in there for 4K or less.

Get some of your buddies together someone who has a car preferably pay for his gas and drive around eastern ohio and western PA on the back roads I bet you find an car dealer ship that has something old in it for sale. I travel alot I saw a 71Scamp sitting in a lot in Danville PA just last week It's about 4 hours from you.. Last year I saw a 74 Duster stiing for sale in some farmers front yard near PYMATUNING Lake I KNOW you know where that is, don't ask me where it was because I don't remember and I was driving and I did not stop.  I run across at least one old MOPAR a month that's for sale when I travel for work, it's usually sitting in a old used car lot in the back because no one wants to buy it because no one wants a 35 year old car.


So stop YAPPING and WHINING about there being no cars available and start looking. Geez man I think the way you talk on this site and on MOPARTS you sound like you just want someone to just drop a fully restored car in your lap that runs 12seconds and does not need any work other than installing neon and stickers.

Next time I have to go someplace for work I am going to take pictures of old MOPARS I see that are for sale and post the pictures in this thread just to show you what is out there if you would just get off yer butt and start looking around.......

Last time I checked, I couldn't give a flying rats ass if I offend someone, or hurt their feelings.  On the same note, you have to REALLY mess with me to hurt my feelings, since I'm a hard, cold son of a bitch.

In fact, I just posted over on Moparts yesterday with a question about my car.

And aren't you the one who bitched about Moparts on 3 other forums?  Pot kettle black there, kid.

Being 16 is really not much of an excuse for not being able to find a car.  When I was 15 I started looking for a charger.  I wanted to build a General Lee clone at the time (I have since changed my mind) so I started looking for a 69 charger and I probably wasn't gonna settle for anything less.  The car I was driving daily had a 389 in it with good power so I wasn't going to settle for anything less than the 383 in a charger.  And since my daily driver didn't have AC I figured that I would try to find a charger with AC.  Oh did I mention I wanted to be able to drive it without a total rebuild?  Anyway after about 4 months of good hard searching, something you're not doing, I found just exactly the charger I described not 10 miles from my house.  It happened to be at an estate auction.  As everyone knows auctions are not the place to find steals on cars.  I went to the auction with a budget of $5K.  I bought the car for $4500 and drove it home.  When it was all said and done I had my 69 Charger at 16 for $4500.

When I was 17 I bought a 71 charger from a friend's dad.  This car had a 318 in it.  The car was a bit rusty but I paid $400 for this car and again I drove it home.  6 months after that I bought another 71 charger to start the resto process.  I got this car out of the junkyard for $318.  One year ago I was out of town when my dad saw a 73 charger for sale locally.  The guy's price was $300.  My dad bought it for me and I paid him when I got home.  This charger had a 318 with a 3spd manual on the column, very rare although not particularly desirable.  This car also runs and drives although it does need it's clutch replaced. 

I am now 20.  I have 3 running and driving chargers plus one parts charger.  Between all 4 chargers, including purchase prices and all parts that I have bought for them, I don't have a dime over $7K in them COMBINED.

So quit feeling sorry for yourself and go buy a car.  You can get big block 1st and 3rd gen. Chargers anywhere for 4K and drive them home.  I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone when he says he's only 16 and just can't find a Charger.  I've been through it and I know what it takes to find one.  I bought 3 Chargers before I was old enough to buy a pack of cigarrettes legally. 
When I was just a very young lad I looked up and told my dad, a bareback rider's what I wanna be.  I want the whole world to know about me.  In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand.  I wanna be a rodeo man.  I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high, chaps and boots reachin' for the sky.  Spurin' wild with my head throwed back, you'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.  You'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.

I'll buy that 73 for $500.  That's a 67% profit. ;D ;D



Seriously though, he's right.  What you want is to have a car worth 15-20 just handed over to you for 4k, and that's never going to happen.  You need to realize that.

I did, even though I didn't end up with a Charger like I wanted, I took the best thing I could get my hands on.  At least everything pretty much bolts on mechanical wise, it's Cheaper too.  Remember, any classic mopar is better than no classic mopar at all.

Maybe you should just get a motorcycle. You can get a used one thats fast for $4000, they are a ton of fun till you hit something. Good on gas too, if you are smart you get rid of it after 2-3 years, cause you will hit something one day, but yeah teenagers have really good reflex's so you might get away with it for a while. If not it was nice knowing you. P S I had a bike when I was 16, it was not that fast -175cc- but we had a lot of dirt roads and it could hit 70 mph, I loved it but got rid of it once  I was 19. Glad I did too, but it was fun and cheap.

One thing I have never had trouble finding is a used car. Something always comes up and unless you are looking for some rare model or expecting more than you can afford it should not be that hard.

How long have you seriously been looking. I cannot believe there is nothing within even a 25 mile radius of you that would fall in your price range.  Do you have the $4K in hand or is this a "I need to get a loan" issue.

I have lost track of what kind of cars you are looking for also. Do you want an older Charger for a daily driver or what?

1969 Charger R/T 440 4 speed
1970 Charger 500 440 auto

Those are rusted out cars that need alot of work-and money put in to them. Why not go newer? Just looked at the 1979 Chrysler Cordoba's there are a few and most are at or under $4000. Not sure if you have the smog police where you live Ohio, but I think you do. Thats too bad cause up here in Michigan we have nothing, smog, safety nothing for any car or truck. All that smog crap can be ripped out and you can put headers-with mufflers , a nice intake, carb , cam, 3.91 gears etc. And have a kick butt car. Ok you are now over $4000 but you can get the car and slowly change stuff. Still if you are not a speed freak-no 16 years are right-those 79 Cordoba's are nice, clean too. Just the factory put 2.45 gears in them and choke the exhaust up and had a wimpy cam and carb on it. But it was a nice riding car and the frame can handle much more power. Most had power windows, locks , nice seats. I would look at those if you want a old Mopar in your $4000 price range.

Those are great too, that ones been off the road for 10 years, but that model is great. Think the weight is not bad. And they are cheap, not sure why people don't want them. Well most had that lean burn junk and were slow and still ate gas, but now of days you can make it run so good its almost unbelievable. It depends where you live and what you can and can't do to it. Look at that dash, it has a bunch of openings for all the gauges you want. I put them in mine car, I had to hack saw some of the plastic to get to fit, but once you put the trim back on it looks great. Those are 2 5/8 gauge openings, you can put oil, water , tach. It has a 85 mph speedometer but that too can be change out, its still cable driven. You can get a 120 mph or a 160 mph , what ever you like.

But it has 4 doors!! No 16 year old wants that, I don't care-would rather spend the money on the drivetrain and paint, but alot of people do. Some people here don't like the new Charger for that reason, I don't also but it has much more to do with the weight and all the plastic and the fact  - the rear end and even the frame can't take much more power without breaking then how it looks. Those air bags are a big turn off for me as well, if everybody used helmets that would save many more lives.

not all 16 year olds hate 4-doors...look most tuner cars, they're four doors.

anyways, back to the topic at hand,  If he's really wanting to go newer, he can always find a Dippy or a Gran Fury, even better if he could find an ex-cop car! they are still very cheap, can be in good condition, and can easily hand a Mustang or a Camaro it's ass! or if he drops even more money into it, it could very possibly catch up to a older Corvette.  Although take for granted it doesn't look the greatest.  I run into that all the time, especially around here sometimes.

You sure are windy.


MH has stated that he won't consider a 4 door car, if I recall.  Not that it matters, because I don't think he will ever buy a Mopar.

If you want a deal on some cheap muscle, find yourself an 86 mustang GT.  EFI, A/c, power windows, decent styling, and almost all are 5 speeds.  T tops too (save up for frame connectors, though)

The best part is that there are a ton of USED speed parts for these.  you can get a pretty nice one for about 2500.00.  throw another grand at it and you will have a very easy 12 second car.  Hell, if you really scrounge, you may be able to put decent brakes on it so you don't end up like a road pizza....

V8, RWD, posi rear, and best of all....NO RICE!!!!

I'm going to look at the green dart on ebay at the link above. He wants a lot for it but I'll bring it down and try to trade him some wide cragers for it.

Well good luck to you. Those Darts are even bring big money these days, I remember when they were dirt cheap. Sorry I had to say that. those cars can be very quick, even with a small block, so long as you don't have 5 200 lbs guys with you.

Man, follow that first posts advice and be patient. I had literally looked (off & on) for a decent 2nd gen since 86 or so. I only really seriously looked since around '97 but finally found an affordable (not basket case) factory R/T with 440/console in 03 for $3 K and drove it home. In todays world, I think alot of us have completely forgotten how to be patient. It's sad. Some of our pioneer forefathers & mothers would look at us & shake their heads in disbelief because we are such complete snivelers about trivial things.... Have you tried actually hitting the streets and looking up and down alleys and on the sides of houses out in the rural areas? Believe it or not, even in this current Mopar price inflated world, you can still get good deals occasionally. I picked up 2 really decent running 74 Plymouths (Duster & Scamp) last year and dont have over $1100 in both of them together....  ;D

The funny thing is that thats the town i live in and I have never seen that car lot before in my life. less then 100 people live here so i think thats a scam.

You need to buy a car dude. Its not like you are getting married or something, just buy something and start working on it. You always can sell it and buy someting else. Heys its been a while now that you said you had $4000 to spend, whats the matter you spend it all on girls ,booze , oh I know a bad ass stereo system

I disagree, it's easier to sell the wife and move onto something else than to do the same with a mopar...

Not for me it just a piece of steel that I could do with lots of other cars. Hey maybe I am nuts, I just love pertty girls and money, mostly money. With that I can make lots of old Mopars just like how I want them.

Here ya go hater of mustangs!!  I always thought these cars were badass and if I was closer I might check it out myself. Looks like its already had alot done to it.

so far thats a steal ! and about 20 min from where i picked up my charger (still 3 hours from me).   the first car i ever striped out was a 71 demon. i would sell off my duster in a heartbeat for that car (but id stick in the 340 ive got sittin around and keep the crate motor)

RT DAVE

Now would be a great time to buy a 5.0 Stang.  None of the Ford guys want em now that the new ones are out and they can be made real quick for little coin.  I'm going to get flamed for this but I don't give a rat's arse...    :stirthepot:

There is no way you can get a good classic mopar for a few grand, unless it needs almost a full restoration.....I considered selling my car for even up to $7-8k....and realized even if I had another few grand, I still couldn't afford a car that's as solid as mine, even low end models.  I couldn't even find a nice dart with a good body that didn't need work....Online ads (non message boards) gouge like mad, such as collector car trader and cars on line....it pisses me off.  Mopars hold their value well, and as time goes on, good deals are hard to find.  Body work is the worst thing for a car to need, and it will get costly fast.  For a few grand, you will only find a MAJOR project.....not a driver....at least for 60s/early 70s cars...At best, I picked up a '78 trans am years ago for about $5000 that had a solid body and ran well......The 5.0 foxbody mustangs are also a good buy, even though I'm not a ford guy....Or pick up an LT1 fbody, or even an LS1 fbody.....

Lightning

I'm tellin ya guys, an M-body is the best thing to have now, they're cheap, have Mopar's mechanical heritage (you can even stick a B/RB in it), and insurance won't nail you a new one just to have it.   And the k-frame mounts are cheap too! which takes care of 50% of the alignment problems!
when racing deals fall apart.....you go home, like me.

that mirada sold for only $1,400,
  it was waaaaaaay too nice a car and good a deal for you MH, your gonna need a moped or  VW i'm afraid...
sorry kid. we're through.

dodge freak

You messed up kid, that Miranda would have been great to have. $1,400 heck you would had $2,500 left to put in it, could have gotten the rear end gears, the trans redone and still had some cash left for the motor.

Like I said its motorcycle maybe for you, just don't hit anything. You still have that cash left , right ?
