A church that I attend occasionally had a Roadmaster Estate wagon donated and I heard that they were going to scrap it. Naturally I told the pastor that I would buy it for the price of scrap so he said I could have it for $225.
The body is in average condition, some surface rust but not really noticeable, the frame looks good as well. The interior is decent with only a few rips on the drivers leather seat and the headliner falling down. Now here is the important part: 230k miles, I have not heard it run but he says that it runs and it looks like the alternator and a/c equipment and other things under the hood are fairly new so it hasn't been totally neglected.
My Mercedes wagon is turning out to a money pit (who would have guessed) and I need another car to drive around for the winter. I am also buying an 89 Mustang 5.0 tomorrow for sure that I could drive in the winter as well. I am buying it for the drivetrain but I could drive it for the winter and part it in the spring.
I also live at home still and I my parents would likely not be thrilled about me having 4 cars at the house at one time.
CLIFFS NOTES: Buy Buick and Mustang and drive Buick in winter or just buy the Mustang and drive that.
