Somebody here wants this, I know it. And for a GRM'r I'll sell it cheap. I figure it is worth $300 in scrap thanks to the all-aluminum engine, so that's what I'll sell it for a GRM'r for. At this point I'm tired of staring at it and I don't want to deal with Craigslist weirdos. I'd much rather deal with GRM weirdos.

Considering... but all I have is a major project to trade, no mulah.

It is a 72 GMC truck though...

Runs yes, drives no. It won't make it up my driveway, and you remember how steep my driveway is. You'd need a trailer or tow dolly to get it home.

thats a massive price drop from $2011

i wish many things, like that you were closer and my wife would not murder me with a dull kitchen knife in my sleep if i brought home another car.

Actual vehicle value vs my perceived value has diminished greatly. At this price I'll break even. I want my garage space back so I can start working on my '88 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo (before Les confiscates it). I've had lots of phone calls on the Olds, but nobody ever shows with cash. I figured someone here would have means and motive to make it happen.

If it were a 2 door it would have been gone.

Yeah, I finally realized that. I looked out in the driveway this morning and saw my '75 Duster covered in debris tree again, while the Olds gets to sit in the garage out of the elements. That's gotta stop, so the Olds has to go.

I'd have it if it were closer, cool car. Good luck finding a good home for it, don't scrap it!

If I had any possible way to get that to NJ the deal would be done. Its still a cool old cruiser.

Too bad the body is so nice, that aluminum 215 would make a kickass Locost.

Spoke with MetalMan last night and we are arranging for pickup. Hopefully my screaming deal price will buy me some GRM karma when it comes time to pick up another toy.
