I promise I didn't feed it...

As many of you know, I've been looking for a 68 short fleet for some time, and just haven't found "the one" yet. But I saw an ad on craigslist last week for a 69 short step, and sometimes "no" is a big word to get out. I knew better than to call in the first place. V8, auto, ps, no gauges, not sure if it will run, but it's not locked up.

Looks pretty solid to me. These are getting harder to find in west KY.

Good luck, Rg

You did not feed it and it STILL followed you home! Now you have to feed and care for it! Nice diet of gasoline in a little oil with a mixture of transmission fluid and coolant.

Re: I promise I didn't feed it...

Well, maybe I gave it just a little nibble I got it to run this afternoon, as long as you pour fuel down the carb! The fuel tank has some gunk in the bottom, so I'm going to try to clean it out this week. I disconnected it before I started trying to crank it.
