Saw this one yesterday when I had to swing by a friend's work. Had to swing by again tonight and it was there still/again.
I saw a couple more running up to the wrecking yard to get some brake drums. A Bronco and one or two pick ups. There was one at the yard that was in the "car lot" with the cars that were in too "good" of shape to part out. It actually looked like they were using it as a parts runner.
They have a few dented dents piled up in the yard. One of which has a pristine black bumper with the factory tubular brush guard. I was on the way to work and I couldn't take it. Not to mention I have no way of taking a complete bumper right now but maybe I can snag the brush guard next time I'm there.

Yes it is at a local Ford dealership to me, the owner of the dealership owns it and it's not for sale.
But I bought his parts truck......

It's an automobile, it's in an automobile dealership.
Everything has it's price, especially to a car salesman.
"They don't want to sell it............................
But : $______.__ might change their mind."
I wish l had the money to back up a phone call.
And YES it is a beautyful clone of my Cooter (okay, it's a Ranger) but mine's older!

Well Rich, with a backstory like that, you may be right.
It's a fitting tribute to the dealership's founder.
Better than a bronze statue in the parking lot, for sure!
And, it's a good thing l don't have a "stupid amount of money"
...because I've pulled some pretty stupid stunts in my time.
Do they ever start the truck and drive it around?
(Slow, on the driveway. lol)

Once that was fixed I think he is way more careful with it. And BTW you can not tell is was ever in a accident.
