aside from the fact that I think it'd be cool to see nm to michigan to colorado, I think we should see what we need to do to get prime that truck, he's particular and they don't just show up everyday with a 3rd pedal

Was given a free '59 Beetle this weekend. Its been sitting for nine million years and does not roll. And is very rusty. I likely wont fix it, since its worth more in parts but it was free!

To unload it i literally chained it to a fence post, poured oil on my trailer and drove out from underneath it.

Its not crazy, if it works.

Legally I can't do anything before Friday. And the dude hasn't responded to @kirk on FB. Ask is $5500. And I don't think I'd argue on price. Of which I have none. I'd have to borrow $7500 to cover shipping. On an old ass truck, that's $200/mo from the bank until I could sell my 2nd Gen (which I can afford after April when my mortgage contribution drops by $300/mo). Then it's pay off that 7500, spend another 3 to get the timing belt and clutch done, and a full tune up. A few weeks to sort the suspension. Just so I could drive it with confidence.

And this is supposed to be the summer of Mustang.

I'm spinning all the plates in my head. It's a lot.

If I could do it, I could have a Unicorn with a body lift and PML on 32s, maybe a functional Mustang and be comfortable every month.

That's IF I could get good money for the 2nd Gen. To the right person it's $15? Maybe?

The biggest problem in my head is that I don't have the time/bandwidth to do the necessary maintenance myself. I'd have to pay for it so I can have a functional truck quickly. If I had a year round daily, it'd be a different story.

Trust me. I'm trying to spin it every which way in my head to make it work.

There's a dealership about 30 minutes from the truck. I think I'd try to convince the guy to take it there for a full PPI on my dime so I know exactly what it needs. Then maybe have them do the necessary stuff so I can fly to Flint and drive it back if I buy it.

Yea, I feel ya. That's a lot for a unicorn you been dreaming about for like..ever. I get it though. Red pill or blue pill, that is the question. We've all spent that much on shiat we haven't dreamt about.
