I was talking to a neighbor the other day. He used to drive this Eagle. He bought it new. I hadn't seen it on the road in over a decade. I thought it was long gone. We used to talk about our mutual appreciation for AMCs when he lived closer to me. As it turns he's had it all this time, but now it was in his way and he wanted it gone. I asked how much. He said "whatever you offer me. You are the only guy besides me I would want to own it". I told him as much as I like the car, I wasn't in the market for one and couldn't justify shelling out for something I didn't really need. He said, "it's not about the money". He wanted it gone and wanted me to make an offer if I had the slightest inkling to do so. I looked in my wallet and said, "hows $300.00?" He reached out and shook my hand.
I went home and grabbed a battery and a can of gas. Ten minutes later it was sitting here in my driveway. Kind of sweet eh?
Now to get down to some serious detailing.
