Fast forward to today and along the way it wasn't mentioned to the new owner. Maybe it was laying around for future project and someone forgot to install it. Other half got mad and sold it to someone not knowing it was valuable. My other half looks at my trucks as junk. Nevermind the almost $10K under the hood. I'm just saying let's not be mean to him. He doesn't know what he has by his own admission. Only what he thinks/hopes to have. I agree we need clear daytime photo's to help him out.

I only care for Ford.. PM me if there's anything along the lines. I wanna unload my 2002 Ram qd cab in June 07 and get a econo pre smog, in decent condition. Dont mind a rebuild if rust free. Went to Alpine for the 66 F100, just cant find the stuff down here unless your a banker or a parts yard

If there are any GT500s, I'll take one of them. I'll give ya 75 bucks for one.... Oh.....and if there's any thunderbolts, I'll take one of them too. 
Your old man ought to knwo what he's looking at too, right? Stop by the bank, grab a couple thousand and get up there to that barn! Don't forget your car trailer.

It's not very Christian like to be taking advantage of a little old lady, y'know?
Then again, you're not taking advantage of her if she's just gonna get rid of it for cheap anyways.....

If there was a GT 500 there, I would have fu@# her for it on the spot.. Most are old trucks.. I know there 2 real old dodge's there and some more chevy.. Most died and was left to rot.. There a 47 M38 there also that I want to get my hands on.. She just getting rid of what ever people can haul off.. If its running ( like the 72 f-100 ) she just ask for a little bit of cash..
