i was thinking of getting a older 60s-80s american car that needs the odd job doing on it..using it for 6 months to a year and then sell on with the odd jobs done and tidied up and get most of my money back

any suggestions on american cars that would sell on quickly? i dont want to get stuck with somthing

A Ford Mustang probably a good bet. With the current model being quite common here now, interest in older models may go up so easy to sell on?

Parts should be easy to come by too.

How much are you thinking of paying?

Pre-cat models (-'74) are already fairly expensive collectables.

The early cat models are likely to be cheapest because they lost so much power.

not too fussed on £££ about £2-3k would be nice, although it can be more or less

the most important thing would be to choose something i could sell easily when im fed up and possibly make a little extra( im a paint sprayer so i could spruce it up

Quite a lot of 70s and 80s Cadillac Sevilles about. Nice motors of their kind I believe and reasonably compact, sort of Granada sized but a bit fatter.
