The average six-year-old car around here has more rust on it than that entire truck!

Real nice shape. And how did that front bumper stay so straight all those years??

Do you work in a mine? Or did you find a convenient parking spot in a dragline bucket? Just curious as I work on a dragline.

Come and get it. I want it but really can't keep it. There is a guy nearby with a good running 48 flat 6 and 4 speed for $500. Still in the truck. I almost went and got it just to get rid of the Old's.

I actually had a deal made with an older guy for a partial trade for some brand new Offy heads and some cash. He was really excited and went home to get his trailer and tell his wife.

He called back and said his wife said not until he sells his motor home.

Got a lot of interest but, no one has shown up to look at it except the first guy.

My wife and daughter in law like it better than my 52. Hurt my feelers a little bit.

Somebody come and save it.

Scott

From the sounds of things, that Olds motor just might fire up and run. It might be worth giving it a chance and up the price another grand.

The Olds is a great engine, period correct. Lots of potential.

I'd be happy to break even and get some parking space back. My HOA make me keep it out of sight.

If no one comes to look I may just go get some cheap plug wires, clean the points up, pour some gas down the carb and put some jumper cables to the starter. I think it will run.

The more I do to it, the more I want to keep it though. There's another guy in town that has a 53 EAB engine. Hmmmmm.

My wife is in the hospital after getting a new knee. She might be home tomorrow. Somebody get it before I do something that gets me in trouble.

You should be able to outrun her. For a little while, anyway.

Probably not. I got "retired" last year after 3 back surgeries. Had 13 surgeries total on my body so far. I'm pretty slow.

Don't wanna **** off my sugar momma.

Did he text? Can't call because he's deaf? SoCal area code?

E-mail. Might be legit?

Has Phoenix area code. Still trying after I said face to face cash deal only. Asking if it will fit on dolly or if he needs a trailer. Going to see if he can take a day off to come get it.

We'll see.

I work for Caterpillar. That picture was taken in Gillette, Wyoming. There is a public park there with a bunch of old machines and buckets and stuff. I was working at Black Thunder for the last 3 years up there but recently moved back to AZ.
