Well the '70 Sedan DeVille is out because I just bought it this morning for $600!

Bumping this to reflect the new addition to the fleet and also because I think this is a great thread in general; post your lists, people! 1. 1967 Cadillac Eldorado (currently own) 2. 1967 Cadillac Eldorado 3. 1970 Cadillac Sedan DeVille (currently own) 4. 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 5. 1971 Cadillac Sedan DeVille 6. 1974 Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine by Moloney Coachbuilders 7. 1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 8. 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme sedan 9. 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 10. 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 11. 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado FE3 12. 1990 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado R1500 (currently own) 13. 1990 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado V1500 14. 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme sedan 15. 1996 Buick Riviera

Picked her up this morning for $600 off two dorky yuppie brothers in Bow, NH. Runs, drives, shifts, and stops. Incredibly solid (have the original Florida title from 1970) except for a little bubbling at the bottoms of the front fenders. Needs cosmetic love, but is mechanically awesome. Goes down the road straight, smooth, and quiet as a Cadillac should. Has a 2 year-old rebuilt transmission with a 50,000 mile warranty that is transferrable to me. It's gonna be me and the girl's backup car/summer beater. I'm glad to have picked it up; I've been having withdrawals since I traded Sixty8 the Banana for my Suburban, but now I once again have a driver!

$4.50ish for regular, $4.75ish for mid-grade, $5.00ish for premium. Diesel at six and a quarter.

Balt: the junkyard of old iron I first brought Sixty8 to is in NH, not MA. Here: Blanchard's Auto Salvage 47 Greenville Road Wilton, NH 03086 If for whatever reason Blanchard's does not go in, you can also try searching for it under "Zeke's Auto & Truck Sales" And here's one you can do for me and Sixty 8 and a few other friends of ours because it's turned into one of those "tell me what you want, then I'll hold your hand while we go look at it together, then if you want the part leave a deposit and we'll call you in a week when it's off" places. We've never been able to have free roam of it: Balicki's Used Auto Parts 92 Bacon Road Ware, MA 01082

No offense, bro, but you and your family (or at least your cars) seem to have a black cloud hanging over them that rivals that of the Kennedys lately. Hope your mom's okay and I hope you press full charges for maximum penalties for the turd that hit her. He'll get what's coming to him.

German car-based pickups, eh? Okay. I've liked this double axle Porsche 928 pickup since I first saw it a few months back on YouTube: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/12/video...er-pick-up.html

Where on Earth do you find this stuff because around here in my neck of the woods, there is no such thing as a 1970-1980 Chevrolet for sale that isn't a Chevelle/Malibu/Camaro/Monte Carlo. All the four doors around here were demolition derbied long ago, I'm afraid. I'd love to have either the '76 or '77 you described!

Sponsored by Pabst Brewing Company! That's the secret! It runs on PBR!

If gas ever really gets out of hand I will probably park the Suburban and get a '73-'80 Chevrolet/GMC C10 longbed with a 250 inline six and a stick. They get low 20's in mixed driving. I've actually already started looking for one to redo. Any excuse to buy another old truck is good enough for me!

I definitely agree with this statement. Beyond the fact that a disproportionate amount of dangerous and awkward driving situations I, too, have faced have been the result of somebody in a Toyota not paying any attention, I can also attest to the disproportionate amount of Toyotas I have observed while not driving (like, just walking down the sidewalk or sitting somewhere) going down the road on a half-flat tire or dragging a piece of a broken air dam or splash apron with the drivers apparently oblivious to the associated noise and sensations. And also the disproportionate amount of them sitting in parking lots not even close to being in the lines, or with the headlights left on, with the dome light left on, keys locked inside, and even really serious $h! like pets in the vehicle with no windows open on a hot summer day. It is absolutely the official marque of the brain-dead.

I can think of a few cars like that on a river in New Hampshire. Of course, they were AMC Hornets so the junkyard did us all a favor in that case!

Oh that one's DEFINITELY true :lol:

Maybe I was mistaken in that it is not a nationwide stereotype (although you could have fooled me with some of the stuff you hear on television and radio), but it is certainly a huge stereotype in this region of the country, and sadly one that seems to be largely true. Peanut gallery? If you're basically saying that I was ignorant to make such a statement, aren't you AS ignorant for more or less insinuating that it must not hold any truth if you've never heard of it? Sorry to everybody who crossed paths with one person from Maine twenty years ago that actually breathed through their nose; I was sadly mistaken, I guess. Personal experience means nothing.

Are all of you guys friends from cities and towns within 30 miles of the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border or places like Portland or yuppie paradises like Boothbay Harbor or college towns like Lewiston? This would explain a lot. But have any of you ever actually traveled through the heart of Maine and talked to any of the locals? Overall (meaning not everybody I have encountered, but MOST everybody), and this is speaking from first hand experience, they are the biggest bunch of filthy, unintelligent flannel-wearing rubes you'll ever come across. I've met all kinds of people from the uppermost asscracks of Vermont, New Hampshire, the hills of Appalachia, and plenty of southerners that have these same stereotypes applied to them, and nearly every single time they have not lived up to any part of any stereotype they have been assigned. Mainers seem to be the only ones where the stereotypes stick with any sort of frequency.

http://maine.craigslist.org/car/679606893.html This ad is for a car he "found in the woods," meaning it doesn't belong to him. He also does not even say that these woods are on property that he may own. And he wants to charge you to look at it. Then what? If you decide you like it he'll sell you the car he doesn't own and therefore has zero legal right to sell? (all this aside from the fact that the car looks like it was hit by a locomotive and then sat in the ocean for 40 years) And people from Maine wonder why the rest of the country thinks they're all mentally retarded inbreds and make fun of them!

Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?

Happy birthday, dude!

My apologies, really. Here's a real one. I've been a long-time visitor of BuickStreet: http://www.buickstreet.com/ AND, a treat for all the Rocketeers in the house: The Post-War Oldsmobile VIN Decoder: http://www.v8cars.hu/oldsvin/decode.php I use it every time I buy or consider buying a classic Olds. Wish there was one of these for every manufacturer.

I WILL own a 1949 Roadmaster before I die, and my love of these cars goes back way before the movie Rain Man made them famous. Make mine a two-door sedanette, please!

priuschat.com all the way! Where's the emoticon for kill yourself?

Some wrecks from the early days of motoring:

Fortunately, my mother has been cool and pretty normal overall. My girlfriend's mom, however, is an incredible turd and so she will be joining in what I have planned for my mom since they have more or less "adopted" each other

Welcome back! Post your K5 in the new project vehicles forum, please!
