Last person in my yard to look at a car (of the people who just pass by and 
stop in, I have 18 cars in my yard right now!) wanted to get the 76 Ford 
F-150 I have sitting on the side the house, with the rear axle and tranny 
removed, interior parts strewn all about, engine blown, giant rust holes in 
the floor.  When I bought it (from the state's drunk car auction) it didn't 
even make it on the trailer before the steering column joint broke (just 
think if that guy hadn't been pulled for drunk driving it probably would've 
broken while he was driving within the next 10 miles of his voyage, 
probably killing him.)  I wouldn't sell because I'm stripping the truck for 
parts for my 78.  He wanted to pay me more than half of what I want for the 
running and driving 70 F-100.
