Started the day off by picking up this mint 1st gen coupe for pennies on the dollar.
While out and about we drove by a thrift store and decided to stop and check it out and I found this absolutely amazing old school 16" Free Spirit Red Rider Banana Seat Bike for the measily sum of $6.23.
The bike is in real awesome condition with brand new tires and it is also 100% complete. I will add this to my things to restore list for when my son is a bit bigger. For now I will hang it as wall art in the garage.
The cozy coupe hoarding is getting a little out of hand.
I don’t quite have plans for all of these just yet other than the pink one will probably be painted and likely used as the daily beater. The red one is practically mint for a 25+ year old car so I think I might just restore that one with a good cleaning and new decals. It’s almost too nice to mess with. I think I’m gonna take the blue one to the next level as the dedicated show car.
In case anyone has wondered what Stock vs Not looks like:

Hate to break it to you, but I think you got taken on that Cozy Coupe. What you’ve got there is second gen:

Where do they come up with these numbers. Did someone suggest $6 and the other guy was like I don’t know I think we can squeeze $0.23 more out of this.

Do you know where to get a steering wheel for these? I broke mine

Still as old as me so vintage enough for my liking. It was $10 bucks so I can’t complain. Other than stickers peeling it is in awesome condition. Looks like it spent its whole life indoors as there is not even a hit of fade going on.

Probably cheaper to get a whole car used. And use the parts off of it or just use the whole new car. Each of my cars were under $10 bucks. The pink one was free.
I’m sort of stock pilling these for now to have a great selection of pieces. By the time I’m done I’ll probably have dozens of these laying around so as I come up with an idea I’ll have a car on standby.
My son LOVES cozy coupes more than anything else so I want to have a bunch of different ones for him.
