If you were going to build a 50s-60s cruiser..

I've got a buddy with a 67 Coupe deVille for sale. He has no problems getting his 4 yr old in/out of it. He's just trying to finish his Falcon, so he wants to shake the Caddy.

There's a 210 '54 locally for cheap, supposedly runs and all but I'm skurred the amount of rust and body repair that's probably gonna be required will be more then I could handle or afford. I do love those cars and a 5.3 carbed big cammed motor with modern ac and stuff would be dope.

Nothing a welder and some sheet metal can't fix. Get after it !

I've wanted to do a Starliner for a while now....



Would also like to do a Fairlane.

The gold car is dope! The black car is ugly

It doesn't have a back seat or 4 doors but this is my cruiser / parts chaser. It sits about 4 inches lower now.

My dad had a Rachero when I was young. Very cool, reasonably fast for the times with a decent 289. By the time I go old enough to do anything with it, it was beyond repair. Sad. My family of 4 made a trip all over Tx in that thing before Mom made him get a different vehicle. Something about a bench seat, four speed, high-winding, rough idling 289, no AC, and a roll bar, that moms do not dig. I would love to have one.

I'd build something like this.

[Tannerm]

Big fan of early 60's Galaxie's both in 2 and 4 doors.

Still my favorite classic, 1966-67 Fairlane fastback OR post car!

late 60's Dodge Coronet's

If you go 50's, the Ford Tudor is pimp!

[talisman]

The 49/50 Ford has a cooler front end than the 51...

Man, there is a '66-67 Dodge C-body (Monaco? Polara? - same bodystyle as this) 2dr hardtop over in Irving. Factory dark blue car with medium blue interior. 383 2bbl / auto / a/c, runs and drives. He is asking $3500 and I want it so bad.

and for something different

[Baba Ganoush]

I love 66-67 chevelles, but in searching for a project myself, I've found the current market is over-saturated with restored A-bodies. I wanted to build one, but with the vast number of restored vehicles on the market, I'll just wait until the bottom drops out in a few years and pick one up for less than $20k.


If you look for the good deal, instead of a specific car, you'll be much more successful.

it's a Fury. and a crazy one at that... shaved, double redlines, supremes, etc.. it just works, doesn't it? thinking outside the norm works every time.
