It seemed to me that it was more expensive to buy a rusting jalopy because of the repairs and the paint jobs than actually buying a new one - that is, if you can still find a steal like my Chevelle. It took beyond a friggin' two years before it left the repairman's garage in California, when originally he promised me it would only take several weeks. The parts were naturally more expensive now and the interior has to be fully reconditioned. The repairman then went on to equip it with 450hp 454ci engine, M22 Rock Crusher four-speed, an LS-6 tach, a 4.10 posi, SS stripes, and tinted glass.
