48 DODGE Pilot House Rat

[I-R-POPS]

I guess it's just part of selling something to the Joe Blow Public. I should have sold it to the guy that chased me down. He offered me 14k a year and a half ago. But I wanted to "finish" it.

I checked the fuel mileage with the GPS I was using for a speed0 and it was getting a whopping 4.5 MPG. I never checked it again but I don't think it ever got better. It's too much fun and I just have to hammer on it.

Hope you get your price and that the auction goes as planned....never know with John Q public....lots of strange people floating around out there...

It has been a pleasure to follow your Pilot House build thread. You set the bar high for all of us. Hold out for a fair price Pops.

Exactly!!!! It really pi$$es those guys off to get dusted by a 60-70 year old ride.

Some days I feel 25 but mostly not.

I think it pi$$es them off more to get dusted by a young guy driving a rusty old pickup than an old feller. Haha!

It never gets old no matter how old you are.

Thanks, My grandson and I both had a really good time building this thing.
He's kinda sad that I'm selling it.

They finally started bidding on it today. It's at 10k now and I'm hoping for a bidding war before the end at 6:00 PM tomorrow.

That's a start
Do you have a reserve on it

No it is what it is.
No matter what it brings, I have already got it spent.

this is easily the most incredibly true statement ever made on the internet. "what I would have done was" or "you should have". You know the old saying, Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. I have spent nothing on the extensive education given to me by a hundred guys who havent ever touched a wrench, seems like you have the same "masters degree" pops. cheers!

Glad to see she sold for you Pops
