I bought a '69 Pontiac Strato Chief sight unseen for $50 because it had a small block 350 in it that I wanted to put in the van I had at the time. The PO was a friend of my dad who had bought it new. He had given it to his son, who had put 300 horse heads and a dual 4bbl in it. Cost me a tail pipe to certify. When he found out his dad sold it he put a single 4bbl on it, but it was too much trouble to put the original heads back on. It was a very fast car for it's size.

Yes, I'm in "thing county wa" Smiley. Thanks for the hint, looks very reasonable. If you would try to find some optimum between fun to drive, reliability, access to spare parts and self-servicability what it would be from the list above?


Anything past about 1980 has too much electronic crap on it for my taste. I owned several VW's (pre-80's, no A/C) and got "The Volkswagen Manual for the Compleat Idiot" and did all my own work.  I've had Fords, Chevys, Toyotas, Datsun, Nissans, '60 Mercedes, Plymouths, all pre-80's and they're all easy to work on.  I'd jump on a Datsun, VW or early Ford or Chevy.
