      My 68 runner was 383 4spd, 69 was a 440, & 74 satellite was 383 auto, personally I prefer the 383 over the 440, had a lot of the a, b, & e bodies, with the entire range from the 225 up to 440, only 2 never had was the 198 & a hemi

    Great work, I hope the old guy changes his mind about the price increase on those other cars, they arn't doing any good sitting there. If anything should happen to him, no doubt his family will sell the lot for scrap! I have seen this happen countless times and normally it's a car i've been after and it's either priced too high or they won't sell!

    Pretty cool man! I used to find an save some good old cars here in Eastern Washington! Since it's pretty dry and hot they seem to survive here pretty well! Even 67-69 Camaros which are prone to rust! However it's getting pretty hard to find anything worth saving these days! People like me have pretty much drug away anything that can easily be found even out in the old wheat country! My last cool find was a 53 Ford car which was the last year of the flathead and one of the first automatics! I was out on an old road out in the middle of nowhere and saw the Ford in an old falling apart garage on an old wheat farm. I made a deal with the owner and my friend took the car and I kept the engine for one of my projects!

    3 2 barrels increased the value by 75% ..then you bought it, parked it with its winders down. Threw a bunch of random junk in it. Let it sit that way, forgotten for the last 40 years. Decreased in value 80 000%. ..but don't worry about all that, he's a nice old dude. He'll sell it to you young buckaroo's for only 75% of what he just saw one drive across the auction block at Barrett-Jackson. Yall should probably snap that up quick before the lines of folks wanting to get at that car are lined up at the fence early tomorrow morning. Good luck!

    Holy Hell man, I think you need to find someone else to drive that Bobcat, bc whoever it is can't drive that thing for shit and keeps doing everything the hard way, That bobcat has enough balls in it to lift those cars, he could have rigged it up to where he could have lifted the front end of each car and pulled them out of there, I use to work for a Scrap Yard and I use to take the Bobcat with pretty much the same bucket setup except for ours was an actual bucket instead of whatever that bucket style is on this one, but I use to clamp the claws into the side of whole vehicles and carry them minus the wheels tho, So I know that Bobcat has more balls than what he's giving it
