CAR HUNT! or BOF & me car shopping!

$1500 if it's not rusty. Sounds like a nice car.

Hey thanks gts340!

Even though I recently bartered for our 75 "Fern" I really didn't have an idea on the 70 and after V-8 cars, especially the 2 door cars! LOL!!

Talked with a real nice lady who lost her husband a year ago. They were very involved with Ford retractables. BIG into them! 2 huge garages/business there at their place. This is the second to the last car she has before an upcomming auction.
After talking a while, doesn't want to show to strangers without son there. Also after she asked who I knew in the area, because she had not heard of me yet, I told her my grandpa's name and turns out the woman he married after my grandmother, was this womens Aunt!
I told her she'll have to cut me a deal cause I'm family and we both were crackin up, untill....
She says just out of curiosity how much did I think it was worth. I told her I would not even insult her by making an offer without seeing the car. I said she should be rest assured that I was probibly her best hope of top dollar here locally due to our love of every thing DART!8)
That's when I asked the dreaded question..........
........How much would it take to adopt your Dart and give it a loving home?
Well.....You know that ones a Swinger, right?
Yes mam.
Well I'm going to try to get $10,000 for the swinger!!

I then wished her luck and told her if I gave her 10K it would be all the money I have left in the world, and even though I'm totally ate up with Dart, and wished i could give her that much, I wasn't giving anyone every last cent to my name I had. I told her I would do some more research and I want to see the car too.
Well she's going to set up appointment with son to open garage, (it is her car though and son don't want) on Wed 3.17.10 for me sense I was family she would work with me a little on price! :cheers:

But defenitly won't be getting up my hopes on ownership.

On the bright side though, she is going to track down my grandfathers masonic temple 32 deg ring! Her aunt didn't bury it with him but was holding till I joined my lodge. She passed away before I got his ring. This womens other aunt was in charge of estate.
So I guess at least I'm getting some good networking and meeting extended relatives I didn't know I had!!!8)
