Well he still hasn't called me back or emailed me back. I don't want to seem desperate but I don't want to let this car get away either. What do I do?

hemi-itis: My brother has a trailer he used to pick up his Challenger.

Well, it being an antique in Connecticut there is no inspection. My brother just had to send them a couple pictures of his Challenger and they sent him plates as I recall. My dad was talking about buying a cheap Ford Ranger or something to be my daily driver so the insurance wouldn't be...

Haha, I'll keep that in mind guys! The problem is, I can't look at it any sooner than this weekend, possibly even next week because my dad is away and he's the only one with access to my money. Plus, I have to convince him between Friday when he gets back and whatever day we go to check the...

I'm just hoping I can get to it before he parts it out because it sounds like he's close to that. I would be keeping it in my brother's garage until it was running so I guess that would be okay? How hard would it be to rebuild the carb? Would it be worth it not to just get a new one? This guy...

Thanks. Once I see the car in person I'll write down the VIN from the body and engine to determine what the story really is. The seller says it was originally a 318 which would make sense for a 1973. Although he could be wrong, and it could be a 1974 with a 360. It might not even be a Satellite...

Yeah, I don't want to get in over my head but I figure if it's running and not rusting away, how bad can it be? Maybe that's a dumb question, lol. My dad is actually on vacation until friday so I'll have to wait until next week before I can check the car out. That especially sucks because time...

Thanks for the advice. I'll add "when it was last driven" to my list of stuff to ask. ;) Yeah, I have more than enough to cover taxes, but I'll need a job before I think about driving it anywhere because insurance will be a LOT being I'm 17. But I don't even have my permit yet so getting my...

Haha, yeah that's the plan 74sundance. Well, it wouldn't be a father son project because he has no more tools or knowledge than I do. He didn't help my older brother work on his '84 Cougar so I don't expect any. I would be working on it at my oldest brothers house. He has a '73 Challenger I...

Thanks guys. Well, he dropped it to $900 OBO so I'm sure he'd take $850, he said the town is bothering him about having an unregistered car sitting around. I called him and he said he'd send some pictures of the car, particularly the bottom of the quarter panels where there was rust that was...

Well I called the guy and left a message. My dad thinks I should get a reliable newer car and is very much against me getting an old fixer upper. That'll be the hardest part, getting him to agree although it shouldn't matter because it's my money.

Well I've been scouring Ebay and Craigslist lately in search of a rough-but-running muscle car of some sort to fix up as my first car. I have about $1600 now. There are two cars in particular I'm interested in, and one is a '73 Satellite on Craigslist. Here's the ad...
