Too much cancer?

getting into the old car game at under 10 grand as a start these days is almost impossible
No words better have ever been spoken.
Last week I went to the parts store and bought 8 1'' hose clamps and 4' of 5/8'' heater hose.
$32.86 I really had to tell myself "Why do I do this ?"
I will say a 4 door 66 Valiant that is in good driveable condition can be had in the 10 grand range.
But is it something you want ?? I have lowered my expectations in the last 10 years and now have a 63 Beater Plymouth that is and will be my last old Mopar. Least it ain't rusty....
