some people will junk anything

Post by fordman »

this guy pull sin with this 72 4 door gran torino today. the body was in very good shape. it had a 460 automatic transmission. it had been sitting in a field it looks like. other than some cleanup it may have been a great project for someone. he got 153.00 for it at the junkyard. i know he could have gotten more if he would have tried. or maybe he was one of those guys that wouldnt go down on his price so he got even less than any real offers by junking it. oh behind it notice the bump with the torn off roof.

You should buy that. That would be sweet with some work.

what a shame, he got screwed on the price too. It should have brought around $300. I would have bought it, pulled the 460 c6 and took it back to the scrapyard
