Re: IML: Please Welcome Matthew Gill



Thank's Rob,

I'm completely aware that i'll find a car in much better condition out in the southwest, but don't think i'd like to have to drive it about 2000 miles all the way up to Ohio, and shipping costing probably around $800+ doesn't seem worthwhile when i only plan to spend 2 or 3 thousand for the car. I think I may take my fathers advice and just get a real basic, clean and simple little Plymouth or Dodge with a Slant 6 motor. It'll be a classic to have fun with, (car shows etc), good gas milage, and reliable, and not a ton of bells and whistles that could potentially fail in an Imperial. I suppose later on in life i'll look for an Imperial, but a little Plymouth or Dodge sounds a lot more practical for me as of right now. Oh well..

I've already checked out CCTOL and it seems as if there are a few options available in Ohio, and a few of them with no rust! I'm sure i'll be fine, i just want to pay 2 or 3 thousand straight up and get something, I think i'll be better off WITHOUT car payments every month :)

Once again any advice, tips, etc are more than welcome, if there are any specific years to look for in a Slant 6 let me know, I know they did vary a bit by year.

Thanks again.

Welcome Matthew,
Good luck on looking for your first car. With your dad on your side I'm sure you'll do fine. I understand the reasons for waiting until you complete your move to buy, but you might want to consider buying a car in Arizona. Almost any car you come across in Ohio is going to have some rust, whereas it is rare in Arizona. We folks back east are constantly shipping rust free bodies and parts from Arizona/Nevada. You might want to consider it.

Member Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Soon to be Columbus, OH

Car(s) owned: None yet!!! I'll be in search at the beginning of '07 when it fits into my budget. Looking for a '64 through '66.

Self-Introduction: My name is Matt and I'm 19. I have a lot of interest in all Mopars, especially classic's and Imperials in particular. I got the interest from my father. I'll be moving to Columbus, Ohio in the beginning of 2007 and then will be looking for my first car (i've been moving around a lot and haven't actually purchased a car) and hopefully I can find myself a real nice and mechanically sound Imperial to drive every day. I may or may not do this, I'm also considering buying a newer Chrysler to drive daily, and just get collector car insurance on the Imperial for occasional driving. Help, tips, or any information is welcome!
