    Default New acquisition

    A barn find. The owner died a year ago and his son wanted it gone, made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I need to put about $1500 into it and spend a day detailing to get it to "excellent" shape, and that should yield a small profit for me if I sell it the next day. The valuation though is on the upswing for these. This is the last year with a carburetor.

    Why in the world would the son want to get rid of this??

    This sounds like another one of DS 'stories'.

    I've got a 1954 Dodge Panel Truck that I took to Washington,DC in 1976 to watch the Bicentennial. Hooked up with an old girlfriend named Rita from Baltimore (we watched the Moon Landing together in a downtown Manhattan bar in '69) who had the tightest, wettest pussy ever!

    I still have the Truck. A tree fell on it during Hurricane Katrina, but I could let it go at the right price if you want to make an Offer.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    That was, in fact, his reason.

    Thanks, but no. I only have 6 garage spaces, and I'm at my limit.

    My son tells me just the hubcaps are worth a fortune. You may want to think about this. (all original parts)

    In that case, I suggest that you sell it to your son. He may be interested to know that he may have been conceived in it.

    You are a very sick individual. Why would you even say something like that? (though, it is a possibility)
