A cross and a boss

[hebeegbz]

A series of fortunate events came my way today . Im on my way to drop off a car this week and after  many hours of driving my wife points out a guy carrying a life size cross and bolted at the base was a pair of lawn mower wheels and a back pack . we went about a mile and we just couldnt stand it so we went back and asked what was up . his answer was he was walking with god ,so our next question was were to and he said washington state . this guy  thinks he will get there in aproximatly 60 days with luck . so my wife gave him a 20 for lunch and off we went but to turn around with a closed trailer can be a job so a 1/4 mile down we took a left and crossed the hwy went down a side street and a series of lefts to get back on the road ,but on the back street was an old building with a boss 302 outside the door and several 30s up to around 40 model cars and trucks inside . i almost didnt stop but i did and the only person there was a lady moving boxes around inside and i asked if any cars were for sale and she said every thing is going on craigs list this week .low and behold after she called her husband for a price on the stang and said 6500 would get it . i made an offer and she took it 5800 and im a proud owner of a 69 boss 302  . so on my return home im picking the car up saturday and meet with another collector that will buy the rest of the cars and trucks and i will cut about half of the cost of the stang in finder fees . some how i dont think luck was a player here yahoo.

what condition is it in?
were the other cars stored, or was it a museum type setting?

and make sure to get some pics up here.

no museum deal just a building full of cars .if the stang wasnt out this morning no one would have ever known .i didnt spend more than an hour on the deal but the car looks solid non runner but all there its a yellow  and black stick car .i have spent this eve on the phone with a friend in beaver dam wi that will buy it when i get back to bowling green . the other cars are mostly sedans and nothing to brag about . the asking price for all was 25k and the boss was the only car that stood out . broken down the other cars and truck would bring a few grand profit each but a lot of hauling ,i called a friend that has a rig that can haul all but one out and move them better than me plus i get a finders fee . when alls done i hope to end up with a 69 road runner conv later this summer from what this car deal brings along with  some other deals in the hopper .when i get back to pick the car up i will take pics .

this is true but i wouldnt have been on the trip if it wernt for the challenger i was hauling . some times buying outside ones interest gets you what you want and some one else gets what they want . my ford buddy im sure will think of me next time he finds an e body that fits my interests .

Very cool story! Sounds like the Big Boss upstairs had something to do with you scoring the Boss!

Very cool hbgb.   I have also seen a guy before doing the same thing with a cross just as you described.

I have a funny story about a Boss 302 stang. Years ago I was waiting at a traffic light in my old 70 Chally (440 auto at the time) and this clown pulls up next to me with one. Can't mistake them with the decals on the fenders. Anyway, he's powerbraking the crap out of the car and billowing clouds of tire smoke are rising in the air. I was a bit embarrassed by it, and it's in a high Cop area crossing a major highway. Anyway, he smolders the tires for a good minute and light turns green so I nail it just to get away from him before the popo arrives to see where the fire is. I put like 10 car lengths on him in 1st gear and legged out second too just for good measure doubling my lead. Definately one of the worst beatings I ever inflicted on another street car. I was just glad to get away from there. I return to cruising speed, like 40mph and here he comes up behind me flashing his lights off and on. I'm like WTF??? So I pull over and he gets out and starts kissing my butt telling me how fast my car is. I wanted to tell him his car was just a slow turd and smoldering your tires like that isn't the way to get off the mark, but.....
