Hey Don; I know exactly what you are saying.
I have given away better cars then some of these guys with nothing but junk are trying to get top dollers for. They wanna act like the car has a solid gold lining.
I gave away a 69 buick Le Sabre with a brand new Turbo 400 with a Doug Nash shift kit in it. The interior needed work mainly just the seats, Carpet dash and door panels were all good. Body was all preped for a new paint job there was not one ding in the whole car. It had true spoke rims with low profile tires, they were probably worth about 2,000 bucks. The chrome was all perfect and no rust either, side molding was remove and all the holes were filled in and smoothed out, nice. I was giving the car away to get it out of the drive. This guy says he wanted it and will be over to get it, when he gets there he starts telling me he needs something to tow it away. I just started laughing at him.
I said just leave it there someone else would love that car for free.
About a hour later I had another guy come up and almost passed out when he seen how clean the car was. It looked more like a old chevy Impala then a buick Le Sabre
Everything was there and everything worked except the engine was blown.
He tried to give me some money but I told him he was doing me a favor By getting it out of my drive. And off he went with a big smile on his face. Plus he had a little extra cash for his new rebuild. Kurt
