Reminds me of the old story--

big tee · Feb 28, 2023

The one about the VETTE--The story goes a kid got drafted and was sent to Viet Nam--was killed in action. but before he left he put his 58 fuelie Corvette in storage in the barn. Shortly afterwards the Dad died and the Mom wanted to move to town so she called The old guy down the road to help her clean the stuff up. Almost every letter she got when her Son was alive would mention the Vette so She took him out to the barn to show it to the old guy down the road--She said I looked up Chevettes in the paper and they aren't worth much $1000 tops--but this one only has seating for two so would you give me $750--the old guy down the road said--No but I'll give you $500--And the old guy down the road lived happily ever after!!!!!!!!!!---Tee

The old guy down the road came at night to pick the Vette up and he asked the Mom not to tell anybody!!

If he makes it his own it's all good, hope he doesn't crash it tho.

Good thing the buyer didn't tell that story. He would have gotten chewed out on here for that!

At least show a picture of a North American market Chevette.

NDIHC · Feb 28, 2023

Yeah...that was a country song by David Ball. The song said the car was an old chevy. Nothing about a foreign market Chevette. Nice try though.

Big Tee ain't that your trailer under that Vett? LOL!!! Just having some fun. But I could tell a true story about selling a Harley once for a dead beat BIL. And yes I sleep good at night.

Someone's jealousy must have gotten the 4020 post poofed huh? A person can't even get a good deal these days without a bunch of crybabies having a fit.

Really big tee.

NDIHC · Feb 28, 2023

Glad you said something. I've been looking for over a half hour for that thread. I guess the thread got scrapped >-o=0

aFORDable · Feb 28, 2023

There are dozens of those stories floating around about vettes, big block mopars, etc., etc. Likely a few may be true but I doubt most are.

Neverfear, you're right on in your assessment of the 4020 post.

Maybe you and grampa l could start a holier than thou site.

The old guy down the road will put 20 to 35 k in that corvette , doesnt look like a deal to me .

And the old lady could not find the title... How many stolen cars were sold with that story?

mjsnodgrass · Feb 28, 2023

i know of 2 cars that were put into storage in the late 60s' when the owners got drafted. the owners never drove their cars again. the cars were kept in storage as a shrine / memento by the parents. when the parents passed, the cars became barn finds. no emotional value to anyone. just a few quick bucks to be made while cleaning up the estate.. kinda sad in a way. seems like a real waste.

I guess you've been ''Riding with Private Malone''

Tee,its probably a good thing that I never got around to replying on the 4020 John Deere topic yesterday because about 95% of the people on here wouldn't have liked one bit what I had to say about it...I could say lots more but will just bite my tongue for now...If the wifes health allows I'll pull Rays old Oliver 88 for the first time on May 13th at Medoc,MO...Grossman,Herx ,and the other Oklahoma Oliver guys had better watch out...(grin) I can do no worse than get last place and I will have a blast doing it...

Hope you feel better big tee.
Heres a picture of a wd45 that I got for free in January which is already running. Sorry I didnt pay a bunch of money for it !!!

NDIHC · Feb 28, 2023

M I bought for $200. Pic is from the day I went to pick it up. Had it running before it left the yard. The prior owner had it parked in junk row for at least 2 years before I offered to buy it. We were both happy with the deal. Shame on me.
