Looking for a sweet Notch! Found one!

It hasn't arrived at my door yet, but I'm very close to owning my first notch. woo hoo Big thanks to everyone on AVD for helping me out. 09.05.07 I'm on the hunt for my first notch; in good condition and a dream to own. Do you know of one going for under $8k? As I will be mostly parking on the street, I'm not after a show car...plus, I want to drive it everyday and not have to be too precious. Something ready to drive away in, classic interior, reliable and in good condition would be ideal. I can live with a little bit of rust (as expected with old cars), paying for rear seat belts to be added, however I don't want to be hit with a big, fat, ugly mechanics bill to fix any major problems. I've got to say, I love the aesthetics of the notch foremost, so I'm keen to get a two tone or one in a classic colour red, black, cream etc. What do you think of my chances? I've been trawling the car sale websites and there really don't seem to be many notches around (ok, apart from a ivory+black one going for $12k, but that's more than I'm willing to spend). Any tips would be appreciated, thanks! [ Edited on 19-4-2007 by Looking4ANotch ] [ Edited on 9-5-2007 by Looking4ANotch ]

Yeah I know, but the bus needs the funds. If I lived in that dream world of unlimited money and time and space, then I'd love to keep her. She doesn't get out as much as she should either...

You've got your priorities all wrong Jim. It's not about fixing the bus. Its about selling the bus to buy more type 3's! I am a bit behind the 8 ball as I never had a bus to start with. Can I have yours????:kiss

All of my vehicles move. How fast depends on how hard you push em!
How about a swap of a (t)rusty squareback for an imobile bus?
