Re: Post your "one that got away"

I watched this truck for years. 67 CST with buddy buckets. It sat in an alley around the corner from my house. I never saw anyone at the house to ask about it. And the place was fenced in. So I would just cruise by hoping to see someone.

Then I saw a For Sale sign in the window one day. I called several times and got no answer. No answering machine or voicemail. Nothing.

Finally after a few days of this a guy picked up the phone. He had sold it for $1200. I was too late despite my best efforts. And I was surprised because you couldn't see it from the street.

This truck looked pretty straight and would have cleaned up nicely. I'm sure the bed was in great shape because the topper looked like it had always been there it was hard to tell because there was stuff in there.

It still bugs me.
