If I wasn't driving an Early, I would drive.....

If you weren't driving an Early what would you drive or what do you plan for your next classic?

My choice:  68-70 Elco, Big Block.

If I was going to do another car, it would be this one.

I dig those early Falcon sedans, you know the 1960 models with the sad looking front ends. That was the America of fedoras, skinny ties and narrow lapels.

me too, im digging those old falcon wagons, the 2 doors, would be a cool gasser project

My 1964 Ranchero-building also now- 427 (351 stroker) & AOD with 4:11 posi. @ 67 age -i just love to wake up the rice rockets!!

I'd drive my other car...1973 Gran Torino Brougham

It's so different from the van and it must weight 3x as much! lol

*That Novette is cool...I'd roll in that too*

OK... If'n you're going to talk 60's Falcon Wgns I'll have to add my `62 Chevy II SEDAN DELIVERY to bring things into perspective!




...And in case you'd rather have red
(Bro had a thing for red, But my Smurf Blue won out)

Nice Wagon! I always wanted a wagon of some sort. Grew up in them and all.

Lot's of nice choices so far in this thread, we all have such good tastes! lol

I hear ya. I had one exactly like the pic I found. did a re paint on it, had the 400 with the 400 TH. What a ride ! True highway cruiser. Michigan cancer finally got the best of it. Love land barges. Crap...now I'm going to start looking again...LOL

When I'm not driving my early, I'm in my POS 94 civic. I don't think it warrants a picture on here though.

I do have a couple other projects: 67 GTO and a 68 Camaro

My other projects.

My 1970 Chevy Blazer that I rescued from being swallowed up from the side of a hill!!!

My 1969 Chevy SWB C10.

"Old Blue"

And my 76 Chevy Van "Sky Blue".

'87 560sl.  My wife's money pit...old lady's car but great style and a V-8 that cruises at 110+ without breaking a sweat...Not a great low speed car but awesome at hwy speeds with loads of torque.  

Actually a beautiful car and the most affordable of the ever increasing MB vintage convertibles and last of the 107 chassis. Purchased several years ago sitting in someone's garage, hadn't been run in over a year and barely driven the few years prior. Original paint, around 120,000 miles.

Hows that mb starter costs to replace? ?

lotta wagon heads digging that nova sedan delivery, and the nomad!!

Matt, I don't know if you mean was it $$$ to get it running or cost of actual starter?

It was a process since it had not been driven.  One longtime import mechanic said this car had the most complicated fuel system of any he had worked on over the years (normal production cars.)  

Had a time getting it running properly.  Kept coming back to me, running rich under load over bridges, blowing white smoke and barely running.  Finally relined tank and that seemed to do the trick since trash must have been getting in.  Still has/had minor running issues, but it's expected until I replace every resistor, etc on a 27 year old car.

Parts are not bad if you get them on eBay.  Indy shop that USED to do my work charged me $700 for an easy fix fuel accumulator that I could have purchased online for less than 1/3 of the cost.  Wouldn't reduce my bill and I didn't go back again after...
