Spotted over the weekend.

Found this interesting truck in my travels over the weekend. Just thought I'd share. Check out the custom moonroof and interior decoration!

Yes sir. It's almost criminal. Sitting right off the main thoroughfare where my brother lives. If he and I didn't already have two cars to finish and sell, we'd probably have it by now haha. Maybe someone will spot it and give it a better home.

What a shame. Hopefully the owner isn't one of those "Not for sale, I'm going to restore it someday" types and somebody can save it before it rots away.

Re: Spotted over the weekend.

Is that a wire rim on the front?

Looks like an aluminum slot mag to me.

There's a local guy, that has about 5-6 trucks, sitting like this. I stopped and asked about them. And that's the answer I got, "Not for Sale". They are parts trucks for a build he wants to do "someday". It's a shame, because they all have bench seats, which is what I wanted to get, since I restore them. I'm puzzled because he will not need 6 seats for 1 truck build. I even offered to restore 1 seat for the build, just to try and save all these seats. But he wouldn't bite.
So they are all out there just rotting away.

Dang thats a shame, 90% of the time they just sit there sinking further into the ground. Waste of whole vehicles or parts that can be used to keep others on the road. There's been a few muscle cars I've tried to get, spotted sitting near a barn or woodline. A Nova, a Chevelle and a few Mopars. Same story everytime. Except for one. He said he wanted to get it running before he sells it. I said its ok I'd buy it non running but he said no, it will be worth more when it's running. That was 2 years ago. Still sitting there.
