Today I was in the local Liscense bureau of all places... Looking for info on a trip permit for a 2 ton box truck I recently bought in Illinois. I was gettin the 3rd degree on all the legalities involved and after hearing them I [in my head] decided to have a dealer buddy go wit me and supercede this ******** paperwork! WELL.....on the way out of the place one of the girls workin there recognizes me and calls me over to her desk. I walk over half expectin to be chewed on a second round,but instead she spurts out "do you know anyone who wants a 57 Bel Air?" In my best Don Knotts impersonation- I say .....errrr -uhhh ,me? Long story short she directs me to a location to see the car......3 miles from home- It is instead a 57 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop.....setting there with no wheels but otherwise complete........bought it my friends!=75 dollars!!!! GO FIGURE......Oh and to top this -IT HAS NO ***LE!!HA HA HA!
Nice! Man - 75$ is something I could maybe afford. Don't get me wrong - I'd still get in **** for buying it, but have a better chance of justifying it for that price! So was there a sign on it (75$), or did you have to kncok on a door? do some haggling? just ask about it's history? Jon
Someone at the DMV sold you a car with NO ***le??? Hell, I would have demanded they get me a ***le before I bought it.
those deals are the best, you can never go wrong with buying a car for $75 bucks. i bought mine for three hundred dollars and it came with the wheels , but i was missing pretty much everything else haha
Good find. I guess you already know they built more Fords in '57 then Chevies? When's the last time you saw one?
No she says-"anything over $50" before I left! I am giving it to little Brother Scarliner here on the HAMB-HES A ford guy- he scored me a car one time as a suprise so its my turn! IT WAS A VICTIM OF DIVORCE- "POSTPARTEM"...hA! I'LL POST A PIC TOMORROW MORNING......
She's a beaut! I'd be in trouble with Mac if I toted that home, but how could you p*** that up? Great score!
Damn Kenny that thing looks pretty solid. Alot better than that thing you guys picked up from here....Congrats on the new ride Reggie. Kenny can I be your little brother? I like cars too.
The rear end ( 9 inch ) is worth more than you gave for the car..... The 57 housing is the BEST ONE ..IMHO.... Nice round backside and a drain plug on the bottom.......nice and short too...Perfect for a 32 to 40 Ford as is.....
Hey maybe you could take her to lunch to show your appreciation. Who knows, maybe you two might hit it off. Not to mention you would become Mr. Popular with a "in" at the DMV.... Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy
