Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Now it's time for something completely different!
For the past year or so some kid has been calling me in an attempt to buy one of my Honda Odesseys. I had responded to a Facebook ad where someone was looking for one. As it turned out, he didn't have any money.
Every month or so he calls me back trying to get me to trade him for non-working 4-wheelers and stuff.
Originally I had 3 of them but one of the FL-350s (that was pristine) was stolen. I still have an FL-250 and this last FL-350. He's never seen it yet. I never bothered to send him pictures because I didn't want to waste much effort if he didn't have cash. I was sort of hoping that he'd just stop calling on it.
I hadn't driven any of them for almost a decade. So they sat and weathered outside.
He called again a few days ago insisting on coming out to look at the FL-350. With all of the thefts we've had at the farm I decided to haul it into town rather than have strangers traipsing around eyeballing the rest of the parts I have out there.
It was looking pretty sad from neglect. I trailered it to the car wash and hosed it down. Then I touched up the paint a bit so it would look presentable. At least it shouldn't look like an eyesore if it's sitting here in town now.
I had paid $2500 apiece for the FL-350s and about $1000 for the FL-250. After the one was stolen I figure I should just dump the other two rather than see some crook end up with them. I told him $1500 for the one.
Needless to say my whole day was wasted messing around with the Odessey. He's supposed to show up tomorrow. I hope he doesn't stay long, - I've got to get other work done.
