    Howdy,

    I'm looking into purchasing a car to be used on the Hot Rod Powertour 2006 as such I'd one that runs and drives without a ton of work being done to it even if it smokes a bit on startup from just being plain old. Since this car is a long term project I'd like to start with something with little to no rust on it with atleast decent paint.
    I'm looking at buying one of the following models
    61 2dr Bubbletop or 4dr Wagon
    64-65 Riviera (sorry no dynaflow '63's)
    64-67 Special Wagon
    64-67 Sportwagon
    Money isn't tight but I can't spend a mint, considering I'm looking for a solid start to a project I can afford a max of $6500 realistically.

    Thanks,

    I saw a nicely restored 2 door 60 Invicta recently rechromed bumpers and all. It is not what you specified but a nice piece. The guy wanted 15K but I suspect will take less.

    Cool yes, what I am looking for no. Mainly because the 60s still have closed drivelines so updating engine and transmission stuff is a chore without going to a different rear end or atleast 3rd member. 61 also is a unique combination of open driveline and rear sump oilpan if my chassis manual is correct on that issue.

    Thanks,

    Actually I've looked into both of those. That nice one for $6500 is already gone, bought by a new board member. The one on the outskirts of Columbus is a bit rusty... a bit too rusty for my tastes actually with some work needed around both rear wheel wells and the hood kind of doinked up. Too bad though.

    Thanks,
