3 winter beaters with heaters on the ranch.

86 900 SPG slightly rusty with 200,000 miles runs great but cosmetically suffers from headlining and some rust. Great car. Bought it about 15 years ago drove it the first winter, then I've been gone for 12 years and she has sat neglected in my field, but she always starts and runs. Scrapers stole the wheels with new snows and they also cut the cat off. Replaced the wheels and cat.

94 9000 CSE automatic with a dent in the right front fender and 260,000 miles bought for $500.00 and put in a new left front caliper and have driven 7,000 miles in the past 3 months. Hasn't missed a beat. Driving is a bit bland but still retains a bit of charm. Wish it had a turbo and a manual tranny. Winter tires are great. Heater not as good as the SPG.

99 95 v6 auto with blown head gasket? just purchased for $600.00 and then $150.00 for diesel to pick it up. Then I towed through a snowstorm to get her home. Research indicates its so GM. Engine, trans, platform. Should be ready for next winter but while this GM content will reduce parts cost, I'm a little concerned that the Swedish charm may be lost.

Probably should sell the lot and get a better turbo with a manual. Hmmm...any feasibility to putting a manual in the 95?

Just need a winter tractor.
