I'm also reading this thread - fascinating look into the Pig body:

 
Impromptu trip to San Antonio with son this weekend for airshow. Son was going to go solo and sleep in car, I said nope and so we went as a team.

Ate some good bbq on way home yesterday.

I keep a watch out on marketplace for good deals as I would love to get another 40 someday. Most are well outside of my budget. Today a mustard 77 popped up about 3 hours away, no title, but figured it would be worth the drive to try and buy. Made a deal with the guy, but he was unwilling to put his name/info on a bill of sale so I could at least attempt to get a title. What the heck is wrong with people and talk about shady.

Looks like he saved you a headache in the end.
Agreed! I’d prefer a 40 that needs mechanical repairs vs body repairs. I wonder what that frame looks like with that much rust on the body?

The money you save on the “good deal” doesn’t buy you the time you’ll need to actually get it back on the road. I’ve got several “good deals” I thought the same thing about.

It probably did work out for the best, but I am a sucker for mustard yellow 40’s. It was pretty rusty for sure, but surprisingly complete, even had the factory radio still. Oh well, back to work on the pig!
