Back around maybe 1978, I had a '65 Chevy Bel Air for sale. Plain Jane, straight 6 engine, no power equipment.

A kid I knew called me and came to check it out. He wanted a work car so he wouldn't have to drive his good car to work. I asked him $250 for the car. (Remember this was the 1970's). He told me he'd think about it.

A few days later, I ran into the kid's father on the street in town. He offered me $175. I knew the father well enough to know if he offered $175, you did't hold out for $176, 'cause it wouldn't come. So I told the father I'd take $175. Figured it was better than having the car sit around all winter. He said they'd stop over in a day or so and pick the car up.

An hour after I got home, the kid called. Said he wanted the car, but he was a little short on money and could only offer me $200.

I said, "Hey, Mark, have you talked to your dad lately?" He said, "No, why?"

I told him I'd just sold the car to his dad for $175.

We still laugh about it.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects. ... [Read Article]
