The only problem is that they're hard to find and when you do, the owner either won't sell or wants an arm and a leg for one. I've had my eye on a red and white one at a used car dealer down the road from me. He's been asking $8750 for two years. Last week he dropped it to $7950. Of course, it's worth every penny for it has been totally restored. If you can find one for around $4500 or less that is in decent shape, tht would be a steal.

I've been toying with getting a "fishing car" one day (when I finally have some extra money). I think mine would be an older cherokee chief, ford explorer, chevy blazer, or isuzu trooper. Something that most places would be able to work on. That's not too expensive. That has 4 wheel drive. That's small enough to fit in semi-tight remote spaces. That wouldn't draw undue attention to vandals & such. That could get beat up and look even better. That could carry my kayaks/canoe. Thoughts? What's your "ideal"? Ken
