Probably my favorite find was cragslist ad I responded to. Ad said junk car for scrap, come and get it, 100 bucks. It was located in a nearby town, so of course I responded. Turned out the guy selling it was the brother-in-law of a friend of mine. After we made the connection, he said 75 bucks and it yours. Told me it doesn't run due to them jumping it and there was no title. The car was an 89 Plymouth Sundance. Told him not a problem, I'll take it. Brought it home and couldn't resist trying to start it. Threw a battery in it and it fired right up. Ran like a champ. Backed it off the trailer and it drove surprising well considering it looked like crap. Figured since it ran and drove I might as well derby it. Ran it in a local chain and go derby. Won my heat and took 4th overall. Brought home 50 bucks from the derby and then scrapped the car at 165 a ton. Not too bad for a car that wasn't suppose to even run in the first place.
