Most people would buy these to run in the salt/winter weather so their pride and joy, late 60's muscle cars or whatever you did not want to drive in the snow.
I can't say I ever found one that inexpensive, except one, I can't ever recall the make or model was a late 70's or early 80's olds/buick, that ran well, would pass inspection. I had a co worker, friend, likeable person, but he had his problems though, alcohol and DWI's. He had no vehicle at the time, and my friends dad had this car, so I bought it and gave it to the co-worker, well sold it actually, but he physically had the car, and I can't say for sure what he did to get plates and stickers on, but started driving it immediately. The guy we worked for, (was an excavation outfit) had sisters and this guy had kids with one of them, were married then divorced not sure, he made a mess of his life at an early age, needed to keep that job regardless of what it cost. The story gets better, I helped him out as best I could, that's how I am, but I was never all that dumb, I kept the title, until he paid me for the car, no money, no title... well he must have drove it for a year or so, decided to sell it, hard to sell without a title, one day he comes to see me, money in hand, I go over to my truck and get the title out from under the seat.... was my only $100 car, darned thing was a runner though, could not beat the cost if it ran 1 year or more.
I just saw this clown over the summer, he's still on the top side of the dirt, not sure about the drinking part.
