For 2 1/2 years my only car was a 15 Challenger R/T - put Blizzaks on in the winter and it was good to go in the snow. This past January I decided a 2nd car was in order, in part to preserve the Challenger better but also because of shop time for various stuff done to it plus an accident that was driving up the rental car costs, so I got an 07 Magnum AWD in decent but not the best shape.
Memorial Day weekend I noticed a neighbor had their garage door open and what looked like a Dynasty inside. It turned out to be an 89 New Yorker which had sat in the garage for over 3 years and long story short he was looking to get rid of it so for the price of a tow it was mine
Finally, I've always wanted an Imperial since a very young age (I fell in love because of the "birdie on the back" of the 64-66 models). In 1990 I had the chance to purchase a 65 Crown 4 door in very decent condition for only $2000 but passed because I lived in an apartment complex at the time (funny how that's not stopping me now
). I came across the Gesswein auction a couple weeks before it was held and drooled over the 60's Imperials but knew they were out of my price range so I focused on the 70's ones and ended up getting the 74 LeBaron. Still waiting to have it shipped and there's a possibility I might fly out there and drive it home (crazy idea hatched a few days ago) but want it inspected first so they're scheduled to do that next week.
