I love model trains, would love to have the time to build a little set. N gauge.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

So, $200 for the wheels, $850 for a rust free Pinto...their math is horrible.  :think:

Didn't even realize B-Jackson was on...rrocket mentioned things going cheap...  Bubba missed a good one! 
I kinda like these weird old Dodge's.
1963 Chrysler Newport for $4400 - oh wait...$6g Cdn...so what, still hell of a car for the money.

Local car for Bubs. 
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1964-dodge-polara/1530617368
1964 Polara - $8000 (hmmm...kinda pricey if that nice one on BJ can't garner $6g Cdn...and this one needs an engine rebuild)


Never mind Bubs, keep looking...

My Dad had one of those - same colour too!  It's the car my sister came home in after she was born.  In June '70, I was brought home in a '66 Fairlane 500, while my sister's first car ride in March '72 was in a '64 Polara.

The Polara was a good looking car.  The '66 and '67 Fairlanes are among my favourite Fords.

Dad's first two cars were brand new - a '64 Vauxhall Victor that was a piece of crap that he soon traded in on a '65 Viva, which was a great little car, but got written off in '68.  From then on, he's only had second-hand cars.

Viewed the pictures just for fun. At some point there's a sign written in what appears to be Russian leaning against a wall.

Yup - the Russian sign is offering translation services, notary services, legal verification of foreign documents, etc.
