Found this, I want it, Can't have it, Bummed :(

[Sam_Fear]

Just a CL find today. Only 20 miles away and asking $1,000, but my wife says no more. But... NO! Awww....

...even has the tire carrier - classy!

Wait a couple days and try a different approach..........'Honey, look at this. I'd love to build you a hot rod out this'
However you may have already blown your cover and she'll see right through it

Cool find!

Ah yes, I remember only too well those days of having to sneak a new project home. But I always liked the saying "It is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission." [cl

Nashes in that conditon are hard to come by........come on, you know you REALLY want it! What's the worst that can happen? (Don't you just love it when your single buddies try to get you in trouble?

Oh, years ago I had a very similar Nash, but a station wagon, with an Olds 371 with two fours on it in it. It was quite the sleeper and I hurt my buddies feelings when he bought a new Plymouth convertible with 383 four speed and I blew it away.[cl

 

[HOT40ROD]

Buy it nd tell her you plan on selling one of the others. after a few weeks she will forget about it.

That how I always did it, and now I get to see her at car cruises and shows walking around with her boyfriend.

 

[ratrodz]

man up, go buy it! LOL, J/K

 

[Sam_Fear]

It's really me that knows I shouldn't buy it. I could get away with it from the wife easy enough, and I could store it at my Dads. Even the money isn't an issue.

BUT.... I know deep down that if I start collecting vehicles I'll end up being that old guy with cars rotting away that says "Not for sale, I'm gonna fix it up someday."

When I get 'done' with my current projects I'm sure I'll be able to find another easy enough. I sure would like that Nash though.... sigh.....

[cl Yeah, problem solved.........so I assume you'll be picking it up on Monday

BUT.... I know deep down that if I start collecting vehicles I'll end up being that old guy with cars rotting away that says "Not for sale, I'm gonna fix it up someday."

You're looking at it all wrong, instead you'll be that old man with all the cars that knows exactly how much he has in each one and knows how to recognize a serious buyer and make a few hundred on the deal. [ddd

It'd be easy to find if it was at your Dad's place

Better get it [P[P[P

 

[earthman]

Ah CL! So many deals. I'm eating my heart out for a '41 Cadillac short limo
that still has the old faded lettering on the side that says Harold Sharp orchestra.$2500

 

[Sam_Fear]

You know what I'm sayin' E-man. Too many possible projects, way too little time.

 

[Old Iron]

Wife says; why do you need another car?
We say; I think I have a buyer and can make a couple hundred!
Few weeks later, Wife says; why is that piece of crap still here I thought you had a buyer?
We say; Yea me too but he couldn't get the money and I'm sure another buyer will come soon!!!!!!!!! Honey

 

[Willowbilly3]

Good lord that thing is fugly.

 

[hotrod preacher]

well i for 2 (see above post) thinks you might just wait til all the other projects are closer to done...and a "prettier one" comes along...

but i will say if you drag it home i'll be sitting in front of my computer cheering on the build and waiting for the next update....[P

 

[donsrods]

That how I always did it, and now I get to see her at car cruises and shows walking around with her boyfriend.

Now that is funny. I don't care who you are, that is funny! [cl (And just think, she is giving him the same hard time she used to give you !)

Good lord that thing is fugly.

I think it's cute and would love to have it, be a nice candidate for tha Honda 750 four engine I have

 

[Sam_Fear]

AAAAAAAAHHHHRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

59 Galaxy - $2000

62 Lincoln -$1200

They're killin' me!!!!!!!!!

 

[earthman]

Never could get with the '59s but those suicide Lincolns were pure class.Here's a 'vert with a Continental front and the Cad i like.

 

[darkk]

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people that ask their wife or girlfriend if they can buy something. I have always just bought whatever I wanted. I NEVER ask first. It's always look what I just bought. It is ALWAYS easier to beg forgiveness than to beg to buy....trust me on this one.

 

[CORPO]

I had to talk myself out of that 47 pontiac a while back for $2500.. but its gone now.. so I dont have to worry about that anymore..

I told myself there are always more to be had... then like a week later I talked to a guy I know and he scooped up a 40 ford for $1500 it was restored in the late 70's... He basically stole that one... The guy he bought it from couldnt believe people wanted it


Eman.. you need that CAD

 

[earthman]

Eman.. you need that CAD

all prayers are appreciated

 

[echnidna]

Hey honey, I just bought you a new car
