    After many calls of folks wanting the car for a motor swap with no one coming through, few no shows and a ton of lowballers. Started gutting this one today. Makes me sick.. but I have another one I have to pick up as soon as this one is off the trailer. She has got to go.



    I need a better formula. I get these decent cars- and have this crazy idea that people actually want them.. best just to buy for scrap price as I do- chuck the ad up- no sell in 24-48 hours- gut and move on.. no matter how nice it is or "could be"
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I don't know what's wrong with people anymore. It's got to the point that I don't even like selling stuff. To many stupid people you have to deal with.

    I'm with you man. I guess we all make our money off people in our "throw away society." Sometimes I have been lucky to sell one or two off before they suffer this fate.. I guess this one.. it just didn't work out this time!
