Was asking $700, got him down to $400 then $300 and finally $280 for a 1971 $280.

Had to replace the alternator, radiator and battery (free, under warranty).

Runs OK

Mustang II for $5. Owner said it didn't run and it was going to be impounded and taken off to be crushed that day if it wasn't out of there so anyone who could get it running could have it for $5. I like challenges. Too bad it was just out of gas.

kinda craigslist....

got a free 1999 GMC Yukon SLT, talegate version not barn doors, leather alot of options.
no motor, it turned to swiss cheese on the owner driving down town (~30Mph) they said it had a knock and had been "repaired" but aparently not.

to top it all off the jackass live in hick backyard mechanic, pulled the motor cutting the a/c lines but thankfully not the wiring and hard cooling lines, to recycle the thing. i still cant figure out why he pulled it if they were going to fix it.

a new motor for these are $1200, a yard pull runs about $400, i am thinking yard pull, freshen it up a bit and throw some cheap fun stuff on there (headers, port some) and have some fun before selling it.

it books about $5000
