Favorite is the Studebaker convertible. Mustang is the best deal. Buick Electra, Corvair, Dart convertible, all look good, too. Very little "original" on the '55 Ford, including the motor, trans, seats... I'd go about 400 miles drive from my home in NC, but also places near family members in Illinois, Tennessee, New Jersey. If a really interesting car is near a decent airport, I might travel far to see it, but only after a lot of correspondence over the phone to make sure it is worth my while.

Great show as always thank you. But you sure make it difficult showing us all the cars for less than $10,000 .

I'm always late, or in bed D'oh! Favs: No.1 that deuce and a quarter is really, really nice. And the OG condition is unbelievably good. That's a "never touch it other than a bath" car. Nail head to boot. '64 Corvair is done rather nicely, not one I normally would go for but the execution is fun. The mustang is a very good deal... even if those door panels and rockers are gone. My eye tells me they are gone. Plus it's missing a pedal. With all that it's still a deal. 1259 miles, 3 years ago. For a salvaged 08 Bullitt.

If the vehicle's ad does not pop up then that means that it probably has already sold. Thx!

How many miles would I travel to buy a car? Well that would depend on a lot of things like what kind of car is it. What condition is it in. How much are they asking for the car. Is it a clean title. I have drove 20 miles to buy a 1957 GMC short bed step side for all of 300 dollars daily driver at that. I drove 1 mile for a F250 High Boy 4x4 4 speed with granny low 1974 Daily driver and clean title. Just remember the more you have to travel you are taking the chance by the time you got there they might have already sold the car out from under you. Yes I have had that happen to me a few times. I would travel all over the Country if the price is right and the condition is great,
