Well, my 77 Cutlass belonged to my Dad's next door neighbor. She owned the car since 1982. She was 80 years old and fell. She broke her hip and decided to move to Texas to live with her daughter.
I really didn't want the car, but it was in pretty good shape. She had problems selling it in such a short period of time, I told her I would buy it if she couldn't sell it by the time she left.
So, i got the car cheap, i figured i would sell it and make a few easy bucks. Several people wanted it, but no one had cash. mean time, I put carpet in it, detailed it a little, started driving every once in while to keep the battery charged, etc. Before long, it was a really nice looking car.
Soon i started liking it, so I decided to keep it. Now i got dual exhaust, and upgraded stereo. Every thing else is stock.
It's a common car, but still, I like it.
