Thanks for the complements fellas. I got this one for Under 2K. I spend a lot of time searching for most of these things. Usually I hear from a friend, or friend of a friend, or relative where one might be setting. Then I set out to find it. When I find one..a very few people will sell them, but of course as you all know..most are gonna fix them up ?:? ?:? . I always get that. Some people I come across will have one that has been sitting for 15-20 years in a field and its rusted to death and they either won't sell, or want 8 grand for it because thats what the interenet says its worth
. Found one the other day that had a ten foot tree growning up through the floorboard. Tell me that one hasn't been sitting a while. Guy said he's saving it for his grandson to fix up. Uhh...his grandson is like 7 yrs old. Can't wait to see how they are gonna get that huge tree out of the cockpit when they get started fixn her up. Whew!.. I have been really lucky and have gotten some pretty good deals on them. Last weekend I put nearly 250 miles in looking for three that I had heard about. I found a Scout, A '78 Bronco, A Grave Digger Monster Truck miniature redneck mobile(can post pics if you want) and what looked like Noah's Ark (got pics of this vessel too). But I finally found two of them, but they weren't much, but just finding them was all the fun. Its almost like when your on a Bronco hunt/adventure that when you get close, or even see the top of one parked behind a barn..your heart races and the excitement builds. I think that is why I look for them. Thanks for letting me rattle on.
