Theresa & I went scouring our local area a couple days ago looking for this 65 Barracuda I had heard about . Finally found it sitting on the side of the owners house. Stopped and knocked on the door , talked to the owner. At first he said it wasn't for sale. This guy was 84 years old ! Says he's gonna fix it up someday ! He started showing me the inside , under the hood , The extra parts he had in the shed ect. He started loosening up and asked what I would pay for it .
I made an offer he didn't like, threw his # at me , And I raised mine up a little, and he still said no. We talked a little more and he went in and as I was starting to leave he came back out waving me down. I guess his wife set him straight on getting rid of that junk pile and take the cash ! Went back today to buy it and load it up. Turns out the old guy was a really nice guy , that was his dream car that never got finished and has been there for 16 years rotting away most of those years. Anyway here is some of the fun we go though finding these and dragging them home.
It had 4 flat tires and full of wood laminate flooring and carpet, OH and BUGS.
