I have considered traveling out of the rust belt to find a decent Metro. I have checked out a few in the Chicago area and they are either rust buckets or have had a very hard life. I am being patient looking for the right machine. I'm keeping cash on hand and checking CL regularly so if one comes up I can snag it.
I am also looking at other cars to possibly find an mpg diamond in the rough. Just about any automobile has room for improvement, some more than others. With this being a hobby car for me, I am also looking to go low dollar. I intend to gut the car of everything unneeded so my resale value will be wiped out.
In my younger days, I owned several different base Mavericks, Falcons, and Mustangs. Six in a row and three speeds, all purchased for under $100. There was something very enjoyable about the pure utility aspect of these vehicles. That is what I have in mind for this project, though the price tag will certainly be higher.
