Old Blue - finally home

The $200 beater I bought, but we had to trailer to its new home... and there in lies a tale. Maybe I'll tell it sometime after I'm over the embarrassment...

Anyway, the first photo in it's new habitat...

Looks like a good buy to me! Cant hardly beat 200 bucks. Does it run?

It runs... It doesn't stop

Therein lies the tale.

The motor, 240 6 cyl, runs pretty strong, not much smoke at all. Brakes need complete redoing (we learned the hard way, after being told they worked), and some wiring issues. After the brake failure, we'll need a new rear bumper and tailgate. Might can repair the tailgate. The bumper got crunched good.
