I want a convertible

Yeah, its that time of year again. We get a couple of days in the 60's with some nice sun and suddenly I'm jonesing for an open top. I checked Craigslist and found a LeBaron for $950 and a Sebring for $1100. Ebay reveals a couple SuperBeetle convertibles that would be fantastic, even if they need some work. Alas, I shant be getting one anytime soon.

I'm guessing the Sebring was a first gen for that price...or a 2nd gen with a blown 2.7...

A LeBaron is a Shadow is a K car...easy to work on and plenty of interchangeable parts from various models of the era. Easy to work on besides getting at the waterpump...which is a PITA in those cars but 1000x easier than a timing driven pump.

It was a 1st gen with like 110k miles. After my last first gen experience, it would have to be crazy cheap (like $500) for me to even consider it. Moot point since we're moving this summer and money is going into that, not some toy.

But I want one soooooooooo bad.

Cutlass Supreme convertible. All the space of a W-body coupe with the top up, and still a usable trunk with the top down. Get the 3.4DOHC, bring a phillips head screwdriver to check the timing belt (just have to remove one screw), the phone number to the local alternator repair shop, and you're all set.

There is a white one (with the 3.1) on eBay for $900...

I was gaga over those and the coupes when I was but four or five years old.
