Greatest "I found a car" story you have

I was on the hunt for a winter beater mid-80s. Saw an ad in the local buy&sell for a Dart & Demon - $600. I called an spoke to the wife of the house, and she provided a little info. 74 Dart Sport with a V8, and an old Demon race car - not running. She told me the Dart was at their house, and the Demon was at a house across the street.

I drove over and casually cruised by, and saw the Dart on the street. Definite winter beater material, but tagged and driving. I started a hunt for the Demon, and after about 10 minutes of driving down back lanes, came across a 72 with a snorkel scoop sitting up on blocks. It still had shoe polish on the windshield from the defunct local racetrack. A quick look inside, and it was still sporting it's white interior. Car was painted black. I went to the seller's house and pretended to look at the Dart, but I was really interested in the Demon. The owner started telling me it was used for brackets, the motor was gone, and he was sort of losing storage on it. He told me where it was, and I asked if it was open to check out. He said no problem, so I went back and started going over it. I reached through the missing rear speaker opening, and found a perfect broadcast sheet, removed it, and with my limited ability at the time, confirmed what it was.

I ended up bringing the Demon home for $200. After more research, I found it was a loaded TB3 340 car, white side/tail stripes, white vinyl top, performance hood w/scoop, white bucket/console interior, dual sport painted mirrors, P/S, PDB, 8-3/4, matching 727, complete with no motor. Still got it, has been stored a loong time. I have paid way more than the purchase price keeping it as found lol.. First one in once the shop is up :).
