She has the yellow car I have the red... both low maintenance. Blue car... new drivetrain lots to sort out.

Are you referring to the wife and her car as both being low maintenance, or to both cars?

I'm suspecting this sport may be even more expensive than the horsey sports mentioned above.

Curious what the base of the cartridge says. May or may not help date them. Their condition suggests they're not that old.
Actually like two different vintages.
38 autos fairly common before registration mandatory sometime in the 30s.
Many prohibited in the 90s for too short a barrel.
Just don't shoot them in a vintage arm as pressures too high depending.

I sent you a personal message, trying not to clutter this tread so much.

I was always a bit partial to Buicks but I realize they were never popular. When I looked for something to restore I wanted something different and in the coupe style. I found that basket case and liked it...I should have had my head read but I was young. Not my family's car. My advice to everyone after restoring that car is, "buy a driver". But what if you can't find one that's done? I'm so far underwater on it it feels like I restored a submarine. But I never did it to make money or thinking I'd ever get my money back. The money sunk into it would have paid for a lifetime of hot holidays... and more... to each their own! I don't tell other people where to spend their money.

There were a couple of 38 caliber bullets found in the passenger side toe kick body pocket. Looks like pistol bullets to me and a little excessive for vermin shooting! I tried doing the car's owner genealogy but ran into dead ends. If only cars could talk.

I really like the lines on your 68 Dodge Coronet(???? correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that car savvy, what year and model is it?). That, is a nice car!

Buy a driver is so true, never learned to do body work so that's a lesson I learned too. I bought blue and red car both running and finished cars in the US '07 and '13 when the dollar was at par or close.
Don't regret the money but get it out and enjoy it!
Maybe owner was a Bronfman? lol.. was not a car an ordinary citizen would own.
The red car is 69 Cornet Superbee...thank you....replaced the one i bought when i was 16 This is the car as I picked it up in Virginia in 2013(still have the bias ply tires and factory rims everything to change it back)

..wife definitely not low maintenance lol, the cars I set valves and change oil in the spring put gas in and go.
...ya it's pricey probably should have built a shop instead...but I'm at retirement age and kids are grown
