Good job. Way better than my Tercel. Though I bet the Crown Vic doesn't get 36 MPG.

I bought a 92 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon out of the CRUSHER PILE of our local junkyard about 10 years ago. They were about to stick the forks in it when I called and stopped them. I drove it home. $400. I loved that car. Put a new 700r4 in it and drove it for a year and a half. Had a CRATE 350 in it that had ZERO issues. I loved NOT caring where I parked or if something happened to it. Sold it for $1900 two years later.

That's nice, especially for $600. If it's an '87, won't it be eligible for classic tags next year? I know its not a '69 Shelby or anything, but I still wouldn't beat it too hard considering the condition. Might as well keep it nice.

Helluva deal there! And as others mentioned, it sounds like you want a beater for your beater!

Now if you find a car for like $10 you can keep the ratio of camaro:crown vic:(insert $10 beater car here)
