it took me over a year to find my Blazer
they were around but the body's were rusty on the seems
I had found one with really low KM's but the wife didn't like the colour
The one I bought was a couple hours away and had been rust proofed every year ,made a low ball offer with a comparable printed off the internet
I told the guy if he didn't accept my low ball offer I was going to look at the other one on my way back home .
He took my offer

Still looking for the right 99-02 Silverado. Seems like they hold a stupid amount of value! Its been about 7 months and I haven't found the right deal yet. I'm almost considering looking for a smaller car thats better on gas. Wouldn't mind finding a cheap jetta TDI to tool around in! I guess time will tell.

I tried finding a Toyota pickup 4wd for relatively cheap and not beat to ****. Eventually gave up and bought a retired police cruiser. Don't ask how I made that switch!

my very first car was a 81 toyota corolla i got around 1996, even back then i think i only seen 2 other ones ever. they have all seem to rotted away. i always thought it would be cool to buy one and make a sleeper out of it, it was actually a little rear wheel drive car.

Mustang II's are the least collectable Mustang ever made and most die hard Mustang guys don't even consider them a Mustang. That makes them very hard to find as most people don't want them or fix them up. My brothers second car was a 78 Mustang II. It was a cool little car when he was done with it.

I don't have a problem finding my favorite cars I just can't afford them.

1970 Hemi Cuda
1967 Mustang Fast Back
2013 Mustang Shelby GT 500

I owned an '03 police interceptor, FANTASTIC cars to own. Only reason I got rid of it was due to the road rage other drivers get when they see a retired cruiser. Got ran off the road more than once, for NO reason at all. Just cruising to work minding my own business, and here comes this older dip**** trying to cut me off, laughing. WTF is wrong with people these days..

I've seen the occasional one around here (S.W.Indiana). They really aren't that popular and are just a fancy Pinto. A lot of them got parted out for the steering assembly. I know where one was a while back just across the river in Kentucky but I haven't been over there for a bit. I'm right on the odge of the rust belt. I've got two 2nd gen Camaros. The '77 came from up north a bit and has pretty well dissolved. The '75 came fron TN and is fairly solid with a bad transmission. The two will make me a fun driver.
