We,the people should NOT torture anyone for crimes. If they need to be executed,we should execute them in a humane way,but we don't want to become the very thing we are fighting against.

You're a car guy aren't you? I just found a 1962 Buick Invicta Convertible. Not bad shape, runs and drives quite well. New top, interior looks great. Factory air. Guys asking $6300. NADA is roughly twice that and they only made them for 2 years.
We used to be a land where we gave up our lives to protect our freedom. Now we give up our freedom to protect our lives.
I suppose duct taping the moocher to a tree and dangling a racist P&B sandwich in front of her would be out of the question...huh? (Thomas Jefferson: "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.")
Sounds like a hell of a buy to me,BUT before *I* would spend 6+ grand on a 1962 car I would go over the body pretty good with a magnet to see how much plastic I could find under the paint,and I would put it up on a lift and look for rust holes and patches from underneath. A local guy and his wife just spent 21 thousand bucks for a 56 Chevy 2 door sedan that looks great from 15 feet,but you can actually see the bondo under the paint when you get up close. When you get under it you can see the galvanized "patch panels" that were installed using sheet metal screws. The car is a total rust bucket,and 2 grand was too much money for it. They don't care because all they care about is having something shiny to take to car shows,and to people who don't know what they are looking at,it does look good. If you don't feel competent to do this checking yourself,have a local body shop check it for you,as well as a local garage. They money you pay you can most likely get back by getting the seller to lower his price if you do decide to buy it. I have seen cars sold that were so slapped together the guy selling them had used newspapers shoved down on the insides of the trunk so the body plastic wouldn't fall right through when he "fixed" the quarter panels using bondo and newspapers instead of spending another 200 bucks to cut away the rust and weld a new quarterpanel in. BTW,check to make sure this car has either a 401 or 425 cubic inch Buick "nailhead" engine in it before you buy it. If it doesn't,it's not an original car,and not worth anywhere near as much money as an original.

I accidentally edited out the pics of the murdering teenagers.
Back in the 80's, when I was more active, I loved visiting relatives in Ohio, and not just because I cared for them, but because I could get some good deals on automobiles, and trucks...it used to freak my husband out. Where we live, most people drive their vehicles till they fall apart, our roads are pretty rough on them, and most here keep their cars and trucks for many yrs., sometimes for decades, but I found that in Ohio people were replacing their cars and trucks after about 2-6yrs, then trade them in, and even their older models were in better shape because they were garage kept. I think the best deal I got was on a 1975 (bought 1990) Dodge Ram pickup, with camper, mint condition, $1000. When I brought it home I sold the camper for about $600, the truck itself just cost me $400, and he drove that truck for many years.

Good advice. It does have the numbers matching 401 nailhead.

Then if it isn't a rust bucket when you put it up on a lift so you can walk under it and look at the chassis,and magnets stick t othe rockers and quarter panels,I'd say it's a really good buy.

BTW,I LOVE nailhead Buick engines. Torque monsters that get good gas mileage,and are just about indestructible. Yeah,the little valves keep them from making big hp numbers over 6,000 rpm,but they do help the gas mileage and the torque,and I will pick torque and gas mileage over hp any day of the week for a driver. I had a cousin that used to put them into anything that moved. He used to have a 47 Ford dumptruck back in the late 60's that had a 322 cubic inch nailhead in it,and he used that dumptruck to pull his motor grader around. He later put a dual-quad 425 out of a early 60's Wildcat in the motor grader,and then used that to pull the dump truck. Damn motor grader would run 70 MPH,but he rarely drove it over 34-40 mph. Too hard to stop and it didn't handle real good.

Didn't buy the Invicta, but my 69 Camaro is going in for body, paint and interior in a couple weeks. I'm going to start putting her back together. Right now it has a Saginaw 4speed and a 10 bolt rear, and I don't want either, it was originally a 307, automatic. What tranny and rear end would you go with? it's just going to be a driver, not a trailer queen or a track car.

I'm not a purist so original would be fine but it doesn't have to be. I'm going back and forth between T10 or Tremec 5 speed. I think I'm going with a Chevy 12 bolt rear, but not set on that yet either. Keep looking into custom Ford 9".

And the 350 I'm putting back in is pushing between 400 & 425 horse.

In that case I would go with a 283 with small valves and a 500 or so cfm 4brl carb on a medium rise aluminum intake (my preference is "Weiand") with vacuum secondaries. A Edelbrock or a Carter "AFB" type. Holley's are more tunable,but you aren't going after the last hp and the old AFB's are reliable as rocks. Think "torque" at low RPM's instead of HP at high RPM's. I'd add a set of headers,too. I don't know why,but the GM 305 and 307 never got decent gas mileage,but I have driven mid to late 60's El Caminos and Chevelles with 283's and no overdrive that got 21-22 mpg back then,and that was just driving regular and not making any effort at all to get good gas mileage. For a transmission,I'd go with a 700r4 auto overdrive. I'd leave the 10 bolt rear in it,and try to keep the gear ration somewhere between 3:25 and 3:50. With that combo you should be able to hit 22-24 MPG freeway cruising,and still have pretty decent pick up. Make sure you get hardened exhaust valve seats put in the heads,along with stainless steel valves. No lead gas kills old style valves. And make REAL sure all your rubber and plastic gas line parts are rated to be safe with Ethanol. Ethanol eats old style rubber and plastic gas lines and filters like acid. If you ever have to buy a new gas tank,buy a poly one instead of the steel one. That way rust will never be a problem inside the gas tank. Meanwhile,I am looking for a 2 carb intake for a flathead 6 cylinder Ford engine that will take 2 factory 1 brl carbs,along with a high compression (8 to 1) aluminum head,split exhausts,and a torquey cam. I ain't going to be going very fast,either.

Why? All you would be doing is burning up 100 dollar bills. The 10 bolt rear or a 8 inch Ford rear are good up to around 300 hp at the rear wheels,and you won't be making that kind of actual rear wheel hp,and in a street car you won't be hooking up like a drag car and breaking anything,anyhow. Spinning tires doesn't break axles or ring gears. Hooking up when you dump the clutch and don't spin the tires is what breaks things. I see people all the time that spend a thousand bucks or more on a custom built heavy duty 9 inch Ford rear,when they aren't even making 250 rear wheel hp. It's just a waste of money for a street car with a mild small block.

So much for gas mileage. I have a balanced and blueprinted 412 small block with big valve heads,roller rockers,7,000 rpm cam with .535 lift,gear drive,flat top 10 to 1 pistons,gapless rings,and a high rise Weiand intake with a 750 dual pumper Holley,and it only makes around 425 hp. Funny,but true story. I was building this engine to go into a 39 Ford,but the engine in my old 1 ton Chevy van that I was using at the time to pull my equipment trailer had the engine take a dump,so I put the 412 in the van instead. Took it for a test ride right after getting it running,and it had the original 262 SBC and turbo 350 trans in the back,along with my 10 drawer tool box full of tools,and 10 100 lb bags of sand for my sand blaster. Hit passing gear going around 45 MPH,and it damn near snapped my neck then as well as when it came out of passing gear at 65 MPH. Blew right past 100 MPH before I could get my foot out of it. 100 mph is FAST in a old 1 ton van! They just ain't designed to go fast. Fastest 1 ton junk van in the state. Ironically enough,I even got better gas mileage with it than I did with the old worn out 262 when pulling a load down the interstate at 70 MPH. The 305 in my 48 Plymouth burns a lot of oil now,and the turbo 250 trans was a piece of crap when it was new and now starts out in 2nd and slips going into high,so I'm putting the 412 and the turbo 350 with the shift kit and manual valve body in the old Plymouth. It's only got about 20k miles on it,so I might as well use it.

Well, life has its own way of changing a persons gears. I just picked up a 1965 Impala SS. Man, I think I have auto ADHD.
We used to be a land where we gave up our lives to protect our freedom. Now we give up our freedom to protect our lives.
What drivetrain does it have? I have seen SS Impala convertibles that came from the factory with inline 6's and Powerglides. I will give you one piece of advise. VERY few people ever get back even half the money they spend fixing up a SS Chevrolet if they did mechanical modifications to it. Swapping engines or anything else that doesn't match the build sheet is like sitting fire to 100 bills. Even changing the paint or upholstery color is a financial killer. Not that most people get their money back,anyhow. You can damn sure buy one a lot cheaper than you can have it pro-built. The downside to that is you lose all the fun of buying tools and rebuilding it. I could probably buy 3 restored 51 Ford coupes with the money I have spent buying tools,and have enough left over for a summer tour of Europe. Of course,I also use those tools on my 32 Ford coupe,33 Plymouth coupe,33 Dodge sedan,38 Ford tudor sedan,31 Plymouth coupe,42 Dodge coupe,2 37 Dodge trucks,53 Ford coupe,58 Rambler stationwagon,48 Plymouth coupe,39 Ford tudor sedan,49 Chrysler coupe,93 Ford 345 diesel front end loader,and my 57 Ford 640 tractor,so it ain't like I use them once and throw them away. Truth to tell,I think I buy the cars to give me an excuse to buy the tools. I think I have auto ADHD. Are you complaining about being normal?

Originally a V8, 4 speed car. At least that's what the VIN says, but the VIN won't tell you which V8. Coulda been 283, 327, 350?, 396. Hell, there's no way to tell. But it's a 350 auto with a quarter stick now. Originally Mist Blue. Original interior in blue. Trunk and floors are gone, not even sure if the frame can be saved. Might just let this one go to a new home.

Ain't that the truth. I was all ready to buy a rotisserie to do the floors and trunk of this Impala, but I think I'm coming back to my senses, if I ever had any to begin with.

Or look for a more solid car that has been stripped,and use it as a parts car. 65 Impalas aren't that popular with the low-rider,the custom,or the hot rod crowd,so it's possible to find a really solid 65 or 66 that needs mechanicls at a good price.
