    Hello from Sicily
    « on: August 24, 2011 - 04:23:28 PM »
    Hello,  my name is Joe and my dad and I have always wanted a 70-74 Challenger to work on together.  I am in the Navy and as my Subject let on I am in Sicily.  No way for me to get one right now but I will be checking out the Cars For Sale section frequently.  I will be looking for one as soon as i get back to the states in about 2 years and 5 months.

    This site is great but it just seems as if all the cars for sale are in the NE part of the country.

    Yeah its not too bad out here.  We are in a prime location to travel everywhere.  We just need the time and money to do it.  Gorgeous countryside.  I also get to see the Bears game in London.  :woohoo:

    It is a good time to buy with the market repressed , seems to be lots to choose from too , my recommendation is buy the most expensive one you can afford though , it will cost you less in the long run trying to find all the missing parts & rebuild everything .

    Yeah,  I cant afford much so its gonna be expensive.  I actually expect my rebuild to take a couple to a few years.  If I buy now I'll have a pissed wife and no where to store it at the moment.  Just a lot of things for me to think about before i start buying.

    Welcome! How about Dad's place? Nickle?, for the time being. What CP said is right, the market is depressed and there's no guarantees that in 2-3 years that will still be the case. Strike while the irons hot and the dollars not.  :2cents:

    Welcome to the site! :wave:  I'm with Neil on this one; there are some great deals to be had during this economic slouch & some very nice cars have gone for a fraction of what they cost to build.
