Jewtoys Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Figured I would turn here, as some of you will offer some good ideas. I'm looking to only spend 10k so this might be a hard one, looking for a cheap car 10k or under. I travel to the beach alot this time of year, and looking for something fun or odd to take little road trips in. Old old jags have my attention, but I've been down the British road a few times.......... Hit me with some suggestions! Literally open to anything unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Bring A Trailer often has old, good condition (but not mint), odd cars, some convertibles, that would be fun for runs to the beach and which are in the 5-10k range. 60's Saab wagons, triumph roadsters, VW The Thing, Bronco's, El Camino's all come to mind.

I have a 3500 dually at home, not sure about two trucks. Some decent suggestions, thanks Once again this is something I will just take little road trips in and never drive other then that.

Some decent suggestions, thanks Once again this is something I will just take little road trips in and never drive other then that. It's a totally different sensation than driving your dually. I had a '59 that wasn't a rat but had an SBC and it was ridiculous fun. The smells, the sounds, the challenge of driving something so huge and ridiculous without any modern assists. I know that one has power steering and discs but even still it'd probably be a hell of a lot of fun to cruise in. Not to mention they get all the right kind of attention.

-Alex- Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4466621890.html Perfect beach cruiser, and money left over to make sure it's good mechanically. If it's already reliable with a/c, drop it on some wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
