So I think I possibly found a car.

I learned long time ago to spend some time getting to know the seller and let him see you as a true lover of these cars, not just a guy out to make a fast buck and screw the seller.
here in Missouri, if a guy asked $50 for a $5000 car, people would still offer $30. go figure......
back in south Ga where I was raised , pull that and most likey you be hurrying off the farm dodging buckshot!!@?? really
take $800 all in one's. ( might look like a lot of $$) LOL
like he said $500 isn't that far off scrap price!!
i'f think you should be able to get it for under a grand. ( everything is cheaper west of the Mississippi and higher north of Missouri!!!!????
