1961 190b I found for sale on fb marketplace for $650 would it make a good first car? Btw I’m 22

I always wanted something
And vintage for my first car i wanted it to be a automatic Wich it has and I wanted relatively good fuel economy Wich this car gets 20 to 25 mpg Wich is pretty good for a 1961 sedan made of with a body made of steel I think me and my grandpa who is a mechanic could get this car going and maybe we could save the seats and possibly the carpets after we clean it I want to leave the paint it has already on it I also want to make it a reliable daily driver idk if any of this is possible

Found this mcCormick 10/20 for $1,000 on fb marketplace

This tractor is not seized turns over owner says it used to run idk how long ago it’s been painted wrong color I know I believe it’s a 1929 from my research Wich was 97 years ago not much info on it but it look like it’s in good shape for it’s age I think it would be a good project for me and my grandpa to work on he’s a mechanic btw I don’t think he’s worked on something this old though they still make parts for this model tractor surprisingly I think it would be neat to drive this in our local parade do you think it’s a good idea to buy this thing?

I think this would make a good first car iv always wanted one of these after I found out they existed a year ago found one in my state that runs drives has a 3speed automatic transmission and 50,000 original miles and no major rust problems Wich is a big deal for a 40 year old car in New England I want to modify this thing like put a turbo on it and a exhaust system make it a sleeper but also a reliable daily or should I keep it stock?

Bought this for $50 on fb marketplace 1972 F.E olds trumpet made in Fullerton CA what do you think was it a good deal

Valves were stuck had to oil them with valve oil they would not move the front one sometimes gets stuck down and goes back up slow I think this trumpet has had a hard life i had to throw out the original case wen I got it it smelled terrible and one of the latches was broken on the case I think it has had some repairs as mouthpiece looks different from original and the where it attaches to the trumpet i think was soldered on and missing fingers ring on tuning slide and the top one has been removed i play it left handed even though it’s made for right hand playing sounds pretty good for a $50 fb marketplace trumpet that probably wasn’t played in years maybe even decades

This vintage 1993 PowerBook 180 laptop i got at yard sale for $30

I I bought this laptop from an 80 year-old man. For 30 bucks It had been sitting in storage for 30 years in his closet. It came in an old hardware store box from his dad‘s old store. it came with all the accessories and the original owners manual I got it home, took the battery out, which was corroded plugged it in with the charging cord. It turned on immediately. I don’t think any modern Apple laptop could last 30 years and still works I also don’t think modern Apple laptops. Are that easy to work on the battery just slid out the side of the laptop. On a modern laptop to remove the battery, you would need a special apple screwdriver and the disassemble the whole entire thing. Old laptops were just better.
