Those prices make me optimistic about the value of my fintail.

61 Plymouth could be an early Lexus styling mule.

The prices are, themselves, optimistic, but not insane. That being said, assuming the ‘61's rear quarters do not contain All The Bondo, it’s definitely an uncommon sled and worth interest. I’ve always liked them. I may or may not have forwarded it to someone to forward to someone to ask them “what d’ya think?”.

I hope 1960's four doors are cheap FOREVER... Or until I’m ready to DD one.

Well damn... that Comet looks like a great way to cross the country in Winter. The only thing worse than the old Fairlane is the paint, it sounds like a much better car overall, and NP with the 289.

I like the Comet, I like it a lot, but my heart belongs to Exner McAngryface up there.

On the other hand, why take that chance?

Yeah, that one has some serious appeal, especially with a manual. It’d be a tough choice with only $500 between them.

No monies right now. Need something safe to take kids in.

Buy worst possible $1k ‘60s four door now, salt away, repair or have repaired laboriously over years, eventually spending $14k to get an $8k car, but over a period of time. It’s like an installment plan. For idiots winners .

I have my Trans AM for that.

The Fury says in the ad it’s a six. Now, while it would kick ass with an early Hemi, ain’t a whole lot wrong with a 225 S6.

You must construct additional pylons projects .

Hell no, it’ll run forever. That’s why the manual really helps it too, TorqueFlites are fine, but they don’t do a slant-6 any favors.

You require more vespene gas. And by vespene gas I mean things with carbs on them.

The only drawback on the stick is that if it’s like the one in the Valiants behind *their* slant six, it will go OM NOM NOM on its innards if you install a turbo. Speaking of Valiants:

How did I not think of potential weakness when turbocharging a slant-6 Valiant? I’m ashamed.

I’ll turbo one of them

When you have an engine that you can turbo to about 3x its stock power for a hundred dollars on stock internals, you have to consider these things.

Turbo a slant six instead. DO EET

I’m on the west coast, I guess I am accustomed to maybe a degree higher of preservation (gentle climate) and maybe still in the day when 2500 could buy a runner. I agree the 61 probably worth saving if it isn’t really rotten, not many of them left, and they are so unusual.

I’ve talked a lot with TFritch about this, who is on the West Coast and nearly always casual-shopping one thing or another. It’s to the point where “semi-unrotted” examples of most things in Cali have been gobbled up, and anything of a less common nature has either been tarted up already or has gone elsewhere. It’s still not a bad place to get a clean preserved survivor, but the threshold has gotten higher - to the point where to get a serious fixer-upper of something unusual at a bargain, you’re kind of better off looking in somewhere more unexpected... like South Carolina or North Georgia. Rust tends to be a factor, but not anything like a Rust Belt car, and the rubber surfaces and glass tend not to suffer the same kinds of attrition as the southwest.

Come to WA and OR. A few hipsters hunting these things too, but there are a lot of old survivor cars. It was a goldmine here for them 20 years ago.
