Hello all, I am thinking of buying a classic family car that is in good shape, less than $20k, will rise in value and is cheap to maintain (likely a chevy). I know all you guys are car nuts and have other cars too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif), I was thinking about a 1940 chevy... Anyone have any suggestions? |

Whatever you get, get a 4 door. Ford or Chevy (Pick your poison)
The values are low enough that you can get someone's fully restored project for 15k. I'd say something from 1940-60 will be your best bet. Try and find something that someone put a modern engine in, or make sure it at least has A/C and heat. Something like this. https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/6014061305.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/6030475625.html https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5994405487.html Your best bet is to go to swap meets and check out the for sale area's. Walk around to you find something you like in your price range and call the number. They always have room to negotiate. Reno has them, Patterson has them, Turlock has them, Im sure sacramento has them. Here is one this weekend https://modesto.craigslist.org/pts/6030109190.html |
