    Can anyone use a little extra walking around $$?

    I'm always on the lookout for something interesting to buy, and have found networking to be a big asset. That's a bunch of other people with similar interests to be my "eyes" in their areas. Anyway, I usually give a "finders" fee of sorts as a thank you for your efforts. Anywhere from $100 to $500. Last year, a buddy came through 4 times for the maximum. If you've seen some of my other posts, you'll see I'm very diverse in my interests. I'm looking for good old fashioned, "word of mouth" deals. Hidden treasures. NOT something in the paper, or on-line that I can see for myself. Please don't contact me with everything in your area with a For Sale sign on it. Most here have seen some of my cars, and should have a good idea what I like, right?

    PLEASE---
    1-it has to be reasonable distance from San Fernando Valley for me to eventually see in person
    2-you have to have seen it yourself, and give an accurate account of what it is before contacting me (I'm not gonna hand out money like sticks of gum for those too lazy to earn it)
    3-I prefer GM stuff, but will entertain other makes
    4-mid 60's or older with some exceptions (I like early Monte Carlos for example)
    5-Fairly clean stuff-absolutely no major projects or neglected corpses
    6-2 door hardtops with some exceptions(must be very interesting like my white 60 Pontiac shown elsewhere)

    If this is inappropriate here, lemme know and I'll delete it. Thank you

          Too bad you are soo far away.

          I have a friend who is selling a nice 66' Fairlane with a 520ci Kasse pump gas motor motor in it that runs 10 flat at 3800lbs in full street trim. Nice interior, but IIRC it needs the red paint touched up. No roll bar so it would be a street only car. ;D

            Hauling ass & sucking gas are the best uses for a truck.

              As of last night,I went from a Woman with 53 Cars to a Woman with 65 Cars....my Brother & I/Sister's have worked out a 'set price' for His 12 Car AND their Building....so yeah,in a way I could possiably use some cash in the future. These Cars were/still are 'Hidden Treasures' since they've never been driven(at least since 1987...). And 'Antmnte',I've got the May'67 issue of 'Hot-Cars',with the EASTERN AUTOMOTIVE Willys on the cover. It was owned by BOB LOMBARDI--Owner of EASTERN AUTOMOTIVE of Brooklin N.Y. Small world,eh ;)? ~J/W-006.

                  Too far? I guess it would depend on the car and it's price

                        Sure I'd like to help. Since I'm too broke to buy my own stuff; helping other people spend money is the next best thing.
