Usually about this time of year "been there, done that, marked it off the list" rides start showing up for sale. Meaning that the guy who bought the fairly decent AD truck a year or so ago, hit the shows with it over the past season, has lost interest and is now moving on to the next thing that catches his attention has it for sale.
Most of the guys on here know that I am no fan ot the "patina look" with worn out shabby looking paint but having a nicely done chassis and decent interior. That original worn out paint doesn't tell many lies though. To me it doesn't add value like a lot of sellers think it does but you know what you are getting as it isn't hidden under fresh primer or cheap paint.
