Best deal you’ve ever made on old cars

My 65 "S" survivor "warehouse" find, $800. Bought it in 1994, had 1976 tags and still had bias ply tires on it. Not a dent on it, 100% stock and complete as far as I could tell, although it had the wrong color paint on in from the fender tag.
I got a Diesel rabbit for $200 and I got it to run with a new head gasket. Didnt run real good but enough to sell it for $500. 1971 Honda AN600, $400, ran for about 3 miles. Bought another with the next paycheck for $300, fixed and drive both for a year. 1982 Mazda pickup with a camper shell, $500. Drove it L.A. to Canada and back 4 weeks later, never missed a beat. sisters had worse luck: MG kit car on a VW chassis, bad brakes. 1970 Fiat 850 spider, bad everything. '70 SAAB 99, just weird. 65 Rambler with a 4 banger, pretty cool.
