Default Used Car Lot

I thought I'd just show you guys what has been sitting out all winter here in Front Royal Va. I stopped today and talked to the owner and it is for sale for $12000.00 It has a model B engine and a non stock interior. It's pretty cool seeing this every day on my way to work and back!

Your picture file is probably too big. Resize your picture to 650 pixels and it should upload then.

Hey BAL,
Keep at it. You will get it done sooner/later with help from this group !
I used to keep after Ryan to teach me how to post pics, as he assured me that it was going to be 'easier' now. I'm not good at it and do not understand the jargon, but can now post pics. I also want to see what you enjoy so much, on way to work !

I would think 12k is a good deal on the car. It running, stopping etc is 3/4 of the battle. Even if one were to invest 3k in a "proper" interior, it would sell fast down here for 15k.

I find that if your pictures are bigger than 800 pixals, it will just freeze up and not tell you why,
