I hate it when...........

.............people know what they have.

An example below.





It needs some pretty extensive work. Floorboards for one and a schwack of body work. The problem is the guy knows he has a piece with some awesome potential. He wants $1200.00 for it.

nice find...

u think 1200$ is to much, if its all there ????

if teh drivetrain is missing and the interior is basicly pooched it might be to much, but if the trucks just in need of resto, i dont think the price is out of hand..

sure is a nice old example of a kickass Ford Ranger thou...

I don't think the price is out of range either.

That's why the title reads......I hate it when someone knows what they have.........

Running gears is all there. I was told it runs but where it sits now it sits minus a battery. It's even a standard.

Well, if I had the money and time, I would love to do a project like that. Oh well, I will stick to my current hobbies, as they are all I can afford

If I had the money it would have been on a trailer and on it's way to my house. Even if I had to give the guy full price.
