For sale small scratch on roof and hood. Interior is a little rough, drive as is or restore. This is a classic people! 1000 obo. Would make a great parts/donor car! Please reply to: 90% of Craigslist ad's you see

The company that makes the drill rig is in Idaho so it was probably a fairly rust free car

Is this another one of those "my wife got the car in the divorce" stories?

Found in field 100% original and complete virtually rust free. Original owner started resto and had taken apart. Don't have time or the experience to finish. It's all there but currently does not run, bring trailer. $500 or best offer.

I thought I saw a $40,000 EPA fine for knowingly venting refrigerant to the atmosphere when they went for the engine bay, but now I see it was probably the front tire giving up the ghost.

I hate to see a car go out like that, but I have a thing for heavy machinery. That is one powerful machine.
