Wife said NO! Again.

My god! That's beautiful.
The price is right too...

Look at the trunk and all...wow.
 
It is a nice car but I don't see $11,900 there. If you ever had to sell it you might be in serious trouble especially if the economy gets any worse of fails to recover.
 
I know the asking price is high but personally I think it would be better than any new "Family Size" car and at 1/3rd the price.

She just laughs when I talk about it.

Me too, I wasn't kidding, I had a chance to get a mid 60's Dodge one a couple years ago, 500 gal water with a water cannon out of the roof!!!! Can you imagine the fun you could have :-D

The ship hasn't sailed on this one, I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't sell in a month I'll have a look and make a low offer. Gives me a month to work on the wife :-D

Warm her first with the idea of riding in it at the parades. Then tell the wife how deprived you were as a kid and that this truck would make up for how you feel so depressed when you think about it. Then tell her you think you might have to go see a shrink to help you get over your childhood and in the long run this truck would be cheaper. If that still doesn't work then remind her how much time it would take out of schedules and gas costs while going to the shrink.

LOL!! Well, does it sound good enough to work?
 
I love those stove bolt trucks. A guy near me has a 1941-1946 Chevy 3 Ton flatbed in pretty good condition considering its over 60 years old.

That Impala is very nice, I have a 63 conv. It is way over priced though, a 4dr is only worth half that at best in that condition. I could have bought a very clean 63 2dr hardtop survivor with the factory 350 horse 327 for $10,000 a couple years ago.
 
Nice car but probably too much for a 4 door. Those were pretty decent cars and a big block would fit right in. Hell lets put a 440 in it, I have one sitting in the garage so it's cheaper right? LOL. Seriously with a brake upgrade it would probably be as safe as most anything on the road, alot more room too.
 
its a nice car but it is a bit overpriced, and im sure your wife wants something with air bags and all that for a family car that you wanna put kids in. i have the same problem with my girl, she keeps saying that when we have kids i gotta get at least one car with air bags to use as a family car, i keep telling her my car is safer but hey.
 
Not trying to derail your thread, I'm just kind of in the same boat.

Funny you should mention the parade part, that's been my biggest bargaining chip. We have a cabin in this little town up the island and they have this silly hi neighbour day parade that she always wanted to be involved with. I don't know why she does but it may get me a fire truck :-D
