There's been a sweet 79 F350 hanging around these parts for years...I've tried buying the truck several times. We usually hit up the same car shows and do the same parades, so we're familiar with each other. Almost pulled the deal off 2 years ago, had the cash in hand right before we shook hands, he backed out and said he's owned it since new and just couldn't let it out of the family. About a year ago, I made another offer on it...and he told me his son really took a liking to the truck and he was going to pass it down to him when he got his license in 6ish months. A pit in my stomach instantly formed. Here's a pic of the truck as I knew it:
Over the weekend, I saw the kid driving the truck, I just about puked. There was trim stripped off the truck, fenderwells had evidence of tire stuffing, bed was damn near jy material, mud splattered down the side of the truck, serious cracks to the windshield, looked like something heavy hit the roof and hood. I was absolutely sick...no pics to share, and it's probably better that way. The truck deserved better than that...I think I'm still gonna try to save the truck, and make another (significantly lower) offer...or maybe if the kid wants a beater/wheeler I'll put the Bronco on the trading block.
