I think Im gonna make an offer

[sarca]

DONT LAUGH. I just ran into this baby on the local classifieds..Ive already emailed him - apparently he lives around the corner. I know the body is roached. Im going to offer him a couple hundred. I guarantee he doesnt have a title. Who knows? Maybe the mint condition hardtop is sitting off to the side..?

Good luck negotiating. Not sure from those pics what, if anything, you'd be able to pull and re-sell.

I knew it was a matter of time for him!

I just sold something worse than that one for $700 to a guy in Delaware. Think of it as saving a cool truck from just rotting away. You don't have a problem, your just rescuing it.
