Alright, so I just got done talking to an old boss, and he's looking to offload his 1971 Ford Torino on me. It's a freebie, but from what I understand it needs a new paintjob, some interior work, and some transmission work. Apparently the engine is still strong, the rear end is good, and the body is straight. Seeing as how I can't pass up a free car, looks like, for the second time in my life, I'm going to own a Ford. Depending on how bad she looks in person, I'm either going to clean her up and sell her, or I'll sell her as a project car. Last time I saw the car, 4-5 years ago, it was a bad machine. I doubt it's in as bad of condition as he says.

If it's free, it can't be that bad ;)

That what I says! If I can drive it home and it's free, it sounds like a deal to me. I'll get pics and stuff when I finally go pick the thing up.

Sweet, let me know. I'm going to go pick the car up next week when I get back from California. I can drive it home, so that's a good sign.

Alright. I really don't want to hang onto it, and if you're looking for something that needs paint and interior work, we can get down. Lemme get her home next week and I'll post some pics.
