The Rod & custom car club is having an open house on June 11th at 7:30 til 11:00 They are giving out compimentary BBq hotdogs and some refreshments.
I plan to go. I l;ike to have a tour of the facilty. Seen some of the projects they are working on.
Anyone else planning to go.
The address is 3223 Wells Ave. In the north industrial area between 57th st and 59th street. A block off of Millar ave.

 

I hope to make it, sounds very interesting.

 

lol...i'll pass, can't afford too many road trips at this price of fuel!!

 

I don`t blame you, too bad it`s so far apart from the Fun Run other wise you would be able to take both in.

 

yeah thats true. even if it was spaced a little farther into the summer i would consider it...

 

Bad news, the wireless went down today and probably won`t get fixed till Monday. So being on here will be very limited, very slow and a painfull deal.......

 

lol...i'm feeling your pain. what are you thinking i should start with as a bargaining price on the 53??

 

I always start by trying to sound out the seller.
If he wants to be firm on his price and if he is asking more than what I think it`s worth I won`t make any or low ball offer.
Sometimes I`ve lost deals because of this.
There was a fairly decent 53 F100 for sale 6/7 years ago, the asking price was about $700. I wanted to offer $500 but didn`t want to insult the owner, later on I found out he sold it for $350!

 

Wow that sucks eh fom but yeah sounds pretty neat to go to

 

well, he was supposed to email me more pictures which i haven't seen yet. but for 5 g's i want to at least hear it running...

 

Yeah same here i agree

 

Yeah same here i agree

 

I would start by telling him you do want to deal, but you want to be realistic about it. I have dealt this way before, and pointed out to the guy, politely, what all was wrong with it for me to buy it at the price he was asking. Most of the time I was able to get a fair price too. There was a few guys that just didnt budge though.

 

Same here prep i did that with the 93 it needed a few minor things it is true it costs money and brings the value down

 

Yeah and if you can spot alot of little things wrong, thats good for you too. I mean start adding up the little things, they can add up fast.
