Even tho I just finished washing/waxing the '87 MC LS today for the 3rd time this summer ... in preparation for winter, of course ... I think I'd rather get a "beater" to keep "Baby Blue" out of the winter mess just like my older 4 MCs.  Course, it'll be a bit odd putting it away for the winter because it has been my most-reliable car through the winter months that I've owned since I had the '97 malibu for 2 years.

I'm interested in...
* '87 or '88 MC LS (preferably with CL option)
* '87 Cutlass Supreme
* '82 or '83 Malibu
* '86 or '87 El Camino
* '76-'77 MC, Malibu, Cutlass Supreme, etc.

Some rust is OK (winter beater, after all), but I'd prefer no rust holes.  Body damage is also OK, but I'd prefer no "missing" parts....  MUST be a reliable car that has passed emissions.

Price negotiable.  I'd prefer to take delivery of the car after I get back from my road trip out west (AR-TX-OK-KS-MO-IA-WI) in October (Tuesday, the 17th).


I'd also consider used late models...
* '06 Dodge Charger
* '04ish Chevrolet Classic
* Oldsmobile Intrigue


If you have something noted above, please advise me ... TIA!

While I've been searching websites, etc., and have a few leads, thought I'd update this with my recently-expanded "interested in" list, in case any of you know of some local ones available for sale.... Thus, along with the others I've mentioned, I'm on the lookout for....

'87-'88 Monte Carlo SS
'71-'79 Impala coupes
'77-'79 Caprice Classic(with bubble window)
'87ish Caprice Classic
'94-'96 Impala
'97ish Ford Thunderbird
'84-'87 Chevette
'06 Pontiac GTO


Course, always on the lookout for a '75 Caprice Classic convertible and '87 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe....

Heh. Probably going to pick up a 'beater' for myself once my pension comes through, get a better vehicle come spring/summer. Old cars though.. They're sometimes worth the extra change, sometimes not.

Yes, that is true.  My '87 MC LS has been very much worth every penny I've paid for it.  I've owned it since July 2003 ... and driven it in every winter since then ... and it has ALWAYS started, unlike my former '00 "mc" LS.

Yet, the '88 MC LS I had a few years ago was trouble from the very beginning Sad.
