with a early bronco build and a old SWB c10 i wasn't really looking but have been keeping my eyes on craigslist for solid base cars and current pricing for a couple years. Looking on craigslist this one popped up 5 minutes from my house (1973 350/auto). Yep i know it looks like hell. Happened to go look at it and was surprised at how solid it looked under the patchwork outer paint. The trunk floor was solid, floors looked good, quarters weren't bad, only one really spot of rust i could find on the left front fender. Some surface rust that the previous owner had treated a couple times but overall solid.
I have agreed on a price with the owner and should pick it up this next week, crossing my fingers anyways.
Hopefully this is a start of a fun build
