Anyways, I got on to the lot, and fell in love with it. It's your average "grandma's car", with lots of vinyl,
faux wood, and only an AM radio in the dash.
So, anyways, my grandpa, a former mechanic, looked the car over, gave it a seal of "OK" (he & grandma didn't like it because it was old, and ugly).
But, $500 was in my budget, the car ran really well, and only needed a handful of small repairs to bring it to it's full glory.
Past work
--new brake pads, $8 for a pair
--new valve cover gasket, $9
--new PCV valve, $2
--some nice Chrysler Blue paint for the valve cover, $4 a can
Future work
--install 8-track deck & stereo speakers
--put in a new crankcase breather
--calibrate doors so they close properly
--rebuild carburator
--replace vacuum hoses (current ones very brittle)
--fix windows so they roll up properly
--reattach cloth ceiling where it's falling down
--repair large tear in driver's side seat

They obviously never drove a Duster or Road Runner -- these two accuse the Volare of being a conservative car!
