Is it possible that all the affordable project cars are now taken?
I've had an ad in our local media a coupla years, saved a lotta junk cars, but finally scored a nice 67 Dart GT, for my grandson and I to restore together. $4500 Can , we just primered the ruf .
273 auto, it drives, rusty floor, frame needs minor attn in usual places. Got mosta the stuff to do it .
Get this, we went and looked at it, made a deal, shook hands, he owned a wrecker, and bringing to my place was part of the deal.
Next day he shows up, drops it, and as I'm paying him, he said if he hadn't shook hands, he had offers to $6500 .
While yakking , he spotted a steering wheel he had been looking for, I gave it to him, of course .
I praised him, and explained to my grandson standing there, - the importance of "your word" and a "handshake".
Not many honorable men anymore, it was a real pleasure .
Big thanks to @65Val , who was there at that time, - who also gave me the original heads-up !
