put a hood on the truck,spray one color on it...rustolium satin black is cheap by the quart...needs about 3 quarts. Then sell it. That is a fugly 4 dr. The reason it's in such good shape is that it's so damn ugly the owner never wanted to be seen in the ****ing thing!
[ QUOTE ] I'd keep the truck, and fix it's many problems. The more door does nothing for me. [/ QUOTE ] ditto!!
those have GOT to be the most ****ing ugly mopars.... do what ya want, at least with the ford you can possibly get rid of it, the mopar on the other hand,well, bring it here, i've got some s**** iron i need to get rid of and it's worth more in a car than on a trailer at the s**** yard. i'd hold out for a grand and the mopar...
for the love of god !!! keep the truck..lite gray primer.old slotted aluminum wheels jack the torsion bars way up, fender well headers....and if ya beat the muns with it you can keep it!
He traded.... this guy wanted this truck badly..he not only offered him the car and alot of cash..he threw in a home entertainment system!!! He made out ok......I liked the F 100 alot better..oh well... still has the Jimmillac...
yea...it looked rough,but a few hours of work and it's sellable...not so sure about the 4 dr. I guess there is a car for everyone...so someone will want it.
What is your quest? Cash? A cool car? A dragcar called "Thumper"? A pink Merc with operawindows? Not sure what to make of it all.
I think the quest would be to make money and support your family first and foremost and if you can make money doing something you enjoy and own a few cool cars along the way..and afford to build one for yourself to keep..I believe the quest will have then been fulfilled...?? I think i know where you were going with those questions.. But you see the cool part about the F 100 going to this guy was,he bought it for his dying father,who used to own a 55 F 100 and had pics all over his garage and always wanted to build another one someday...so his son ,the guy who got it,is taking this truck and as we speak getting it ready to deliver to him on Christmas morning as a gift!! I think thats the Coolest part of this deal...The more door Mopar,it aint the coolest car,and the cash,well i think that about covered the towing to and from, for both cars..So know it wasnt all about the mighty dollar obviously..It wasnt an easy decision...plain and simple...But it worked out Ok..
I umderstand about the deal; but damn a early 50's Mopar 4 dr !, just kiddin and I know as well as anyone about needing money + a young family (supported mine for years that way), sounds like it all worked out , and hell an older rodder is gettin what may be his last wish ,can't be a bad thing- D/G
