Here a while back some jerks stole my daily driver shop truck, a 03 Dodge truck I was using untill I finished the 57 F100 I'm building for a daily. Settled with the insurance, got on e-bay and found this sweet little Ranchero with a buy it now price of close to what I got for the Dodge. As pissed as I was when they stole my Dodge I'm now having a lot more fun commuting thanks to them! 292 Y-block, 3 speed with OD, runs great (pic is when I picked it up, it doesn't need a trailer). First time I ever bought a car off of E-bay so I was nervios but it was nicer then expected, found a good seller.
As bad as having your ride stolen it looks like you landed on your feet this time. the Ranchero will be worth a lot more than the '03 will ever be. As they say, "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" Frank
cool find,if they steel my old ladys 04 cava-qweer maybe i could get something cool to replace it!!!!! I know, wishful thinking!!!!!
wow! way more fun than driving a modern daily my 1st street legal car was a '59 wht/blu 223/auto what a dog; dreamed of a y block-- fun memories
my neibors already asked why the logging chain around my tree! I am a liitle gun shy about it right now, I'm in the middle of moving so the garage is full of boxes waiting to be unpacked. Untill I can put it in the garage overnight I been chaining it and my duelly to a tree. I figure if they don't notice the chain I'll sure here them trying to leave!
