So close, yet so far away...
« on: June 03, 2006 - 07:26:21 PM »
I found a 71 340 cuda at a junk yard not far from my job about a month ago. Thr car is WAY beat up. Not so much of rust, but dents. The car would need every panle replaced, a front clip and a roof! I think its to far gone. And the junk yard wants $2500 for it! Well the guy i work with at the cuda shop said that if i got the car we could restor it there! And he has every part i would need to restor it!! There no way i can pay $2500 for the car. I think i might try to see how much he will come down. But even at that my money is tight! So close, but so far away!!!  :banghead: :faint:

See if there is a way that you can work a deal with him. Work off the bill by workin the junkyard....if there is a will, there is a way! Good luck!

Is a loan at all possible?

 :iagree:

 Maybe the guy will let you work some of it off. He might have a party or event coming up and your band could play.

Don't give up!   :grinyes:  Somehow, when it seems like there is no way for something to work out, the situation changes and it works out.  Keep after him for some kind of deal.....     :cooldancing:
