So I just recently purchased my first bump. I've been on the hunt for one for a long while now but everything I looked at was in TERRIBLE condition. Then last night I came across a '68 camper special with fresh paint and almost ZERO rust. It's got a 460 with a 4 speed MT in it. Even came with the original owner's manual, warranty tags, and the original owner's vehicle registrations. When I found it on Craigslist hidden by a very bad listing and discription but great pictures I thought to myself "There's no way, this is way too good to be true." Went out and took a peak and sure enough, this it was gorgeous. Picked her up for $1500.
I'm Cory by the way. I own an auto repair shop in Coeur d'Alene, ID. 25 years young and this is my first classic vehicle. I'm so glad I was patient and let her come to me... Can you tell I'm stoked? I was up 'till 2AM sifting through every post I could on this forum haha...

70 F250 Explorer-390/C6 auto. My work truck

Re: Newb from Coeur d'Alene, ID
Keep your eyes on pullandsave.com. There are a TON of bumps that go through that yard, and the prices cannot be beat.
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.
or, money.
