Personally, I think that your existing fleet is better than either of them! I certainly know that the grass is always greener though. Buying the cars is just more fun than selling them!

I'm absolutely loving that packard, but really wouldn't want to find or pay for any missing trim!

I honestly cannot see the appeal in that Galaxie. It just looks like a massively curse word money pit.

Gotta say that Galaxie does look really rough. I'd be convinced if it was a 7 litre (but purely as an engine donor).

The Galaxie looks to have a respectably large oil leak if the puddle on the concrete is anything to go by.
How many times did you have that sump on and off again?

This though...... Is beautiful. Wouldnt mind it for myself, but the chances of successful registration over here would be slim.

I honestly cannot see the appeal in that Galaxie. It just looks like a massively curse word money pit. It is. But it's a rare 2 door post sedan. Very povvo spec and ideal for a super stock or NASCAR inspired build. Plus novelty of a manual box.

That Packard is lovely. Finding bits wouldn't be too hard, but shipping them from the states might prove costly. I think I have some bonnet trims in my tat stash.
That Polara is sweet though...

That Dodge was done in the late 90s or early 00s, it was in Custom Car. Not sure what all this "being sold as a 70s custom" business is.
Also it's a 1968 not a 1969.
I wouldn't have a car with hydraulics, especially a Mopar.
Four door post sedan really doesn't work for me in that body shape.
The colour is horrible.
RHD is an odd one.
So it's a "no" from me...

I LOL'd at the Dodge ad, obviously somebody bought it who doesn't have a clue.
Remind me A to the K, what projects have you got and what needs doing to get them on the road?
