Already got one. My attitude toward it is starting to turn south, but I really haven't put any money into it yet aside from getting it inspected, insured, and registered. I have parts on hand to replace the driver's mirror and some trim pieces, and parts on order to rebuild the carburetors. It's probably good that I think of it as a POS, since if I got attached to it, that would run counter to my goal of doing a little work to it and flipping it for a tidy profit.

I agree that salvage vehicles can be a great deal, but mine isn't turning out to be quite as easy as I expected.
