So you've got £13000 burning a whole in ya pocket. what would you buy ??????? not a huge amount of mney but enough to get you a cool ride

You could either buy UK or import, budget in shipping if your importing

so what would it be  

Pics and reasons why.

I'm off to find mine

'68 on Olds 442

I love the flow of these cars, especially the rear arches. Getting one in for £13000 might be difficult though. I'd be happy with a plain cutlass

Steve do you still see that Rallye that needs restoring or did matey pass it on ?

CJ-IROCZ

Saw this a couple of weeks ago. slightly over £13000 but what a motor


Gator

im with ya on the cutlass thing mate mine would be the 70 rallley 350

Gator

i love satellites as well



and rivs


Incursus

70 Cuda


69 Charger

any very late 60's early 70;s mopar tbh.  Though wouldn't get a lot for £13K

CJ-IROCZ

A bloke a couple of miles up the road from me is selling his riv GS stage 2 or something like that. Its been in classic american now for a while 17k i think. beautiful car though.

That Cyclone is awesome, Are they rare ? I've never seen one in the flesh

Inc I'm with you on the Mopar thing, to much bloody money though. That Coronet i posted was £13750 which I thought was a bargain for such a nice motor

Very rare for a numbers matching all original one. A lot of fakes over in the US. Think there is 1 over here but an all genuine one sold in the states for $130K. You could probably get a reasonable one for $20k but be prepared for some work.

Yeah I've been dribbling over it for a while now

Seen other 73 Rivera's at over £20k

Can't think of anything I lust after costing only £13k

Roadkill

Hmm . . . £13,000 . . . . I suppose that's about $15,000 + Shipping, Taxes and Duty . . .

$15,000, eh ?



<scuttles off to look . . . >

This'll do me :

(I'd have it re-sprayed, though . . . . Maybe a roof-chop, too . . . )

Jamieg285

£13K

If I had that, I'd make mine the car it dreams of being  

New Engine, Gearbox, Axle, Suspension, Brakes, Bodywork + more


Flip Martian



In that case I'd buy it off you and save it from having its roof chopped off...

dont get me started on matt black again LOL

Quoting: Motorama
like Ex Dream


Yup.  But a '55.

I read an article in CA (I think) on that car - the guy (and his missus) built the whole thing themselves IIRC.

Damn impressive - but I'd prefer it Black or Dark Blue/Purple . . . not necessarily matt or satin, either.

you id kin love one


Motorama



I quite like that!

It looks great in the primer but shite in black and i dont think the late model interior works but it's got loads of potential. Cool stance, some great body lines and i love the cut outs in the sills for the exhausts

CJ-IROCZ

Dont get me started on black again

I suppose it woul dbe a legistical nightmare getting something like that into the U.K
