Real one here. Paid $225. Actual GT car, no rust or dents.
That was in 1982.

A guy I know spent about 10 years shaking one loose from some old girl. It sounds kind of self-serving, but he's actually become a bit of a caretaker for her. Years after she finally agreed to sell him the car (for a fair price, he wasn't trying to take advantage of her), he still checks in on her once a month or so, takes care of her driveway when it snows and picks her up for a Sunday drive a few times during the decent weather.

One of the guys in the office has romanced a couple of cars out of ladies. One of them was a Super Bee that sat around town here for years, that this gal would not give up for anything. Well Rob talked her out of it somehow. Drag pack car, original 440 car, he gathered up history and some correct parts to begin restoration, then ebayed it. He paid about 8,000 I think. Got over $27,000. He also had worked on a gal in Missoula on a Cuda with 383 and 3 speed stick. He worked her so hard the running joke in the office was he would be arrested for stalking. He even emailed her pictures of the cash he was offering. She finally succumbed and took about 8500 or 9K for it, and he's in the middle of the restoration. The car is 1 of very few with the odd options it has. (Still just an old rattly plymouth to me) Of course Rob loves 'em and leaves 'em. |

His neighbor across the street was getting on in years. He had a 1970 Thunderbird that he purchased new. He asked my pal Larry how much he could get for it. Larry told him that T-birds of that vintage weren't really collectible and that he'd be lucky to get $2,000 for it. Guy tells him "If you know somebody who'll buy it for that, I just want it gone." Larry sent me photos. The car was in absolutely immaculate condition, with just over 100k. He put a fresh battery in it and said it was one of the nicest driving cars he'd ever been in. I mentioned it to my father-in-law, who was ready to buy it, but passed away suddenly the very next week. I really should've picked it up anyway and flipped it, but I couldn't get my shit together. The lesson here is that the cars are out there. You just need to put yourself in the right place and be ready to move.

He has a partially restored (and being kept in a locked shed) 1956 Chevy Bel Air hard top covertible. He has a woody truck, a fiero, and some other shit I can't keep up with. He also has a pontoon boat and who the fuck knows what else he has?  All projects, all pretty solid condition...all unfinished.

 It's the only thing that says "Hillbilly" louder than one of those rubber pools from the Wal's Mart.
