I have had three free cars that I can remember. They were a 1968 Dodge Coronet, a 1986 Chevrolet Astro van with about 400,000 miles and my 1988 Honda Accord. The Dodge is gone due to rust. The Honda is a nice car but I have it stored to save money on insurance. I ride bicycles now. My other cars were all very low cost, like $100 to $300 for most of them.
My 1970 Mercury Marquis two door was $75 in 1983 but I had to spend a couple of hundred to stop the engine fix leaking coolant at the head gaskets. It has a high compression 429 engine and it got about 17 MPG on the highway. It has a lot of rust now so I might just save the engine transmission and junk the rest. If you have an interest in this, send me a message. I would be willing to sell it for $750. The engine is in good condition. Maybe I can get it started again.
It's been a long time since I last logged on. The web site says it was March of 2010. That was just before my father died. I'm still alive but I'm too busy dealing with problems (like probate and the roof of the house) to spend much time with Ecomodder now.
