There is a, I think 59 Chevy pickup, that the motor is out and only the bed left to restore, as well as a couple of old Plymoths. The two kids are all scattered across the country, none of them need any more money, and just don't want to deal with the cars and farm equipment and have a sale. There is 150 years of acculimation on that farm, and no one ever threw anything away. I could have anything I want, but just wouldn't feel right ever selling it, and don't have the room. They gave me more pasture than I can use, so I rented some of it to Conley Angus, just to pay the taxes for them. Sometimes I guess you really do have enough, and want no more. gs
man that's some story,,, best deal ive ever had offered,, was from a man who the IRS was after. he had a original 55 2dr hardtop. he was gonna turn loose for 1200.00 that was in the late 70's and i was a broke ass kid. it might as well been 12000.00lavacarancher":3ec7gqk8 said:Well, I got a true war story about old cars.
My buddy is in the junk, er, antique business. His Dad was in the business, too, so Norm came by it naturally. He was readin' the local weekly newspaper one day and happened to see an ad for a "White, '54 Chevy business coupe, $100" sittin' for many years in a barn. Now, Norm, since he knows his antiques, says, Norm, they painted all business coupes black in 1954. Wonder what this is?
Long story short he picked up a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette for a hundred bucks. Had a little chicken poop on it but a half a day of tinkering, tires, battery and washing, it went for it's first trip around the block in 40 years. Now that's the kind of deal I'd like to run across.
