pflaming Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I bought a '53 plymouth convertible w/o a rear axle, and took an overdrive instead of an axle. Then I sold the convertible for what I paid for it, and the overdrive for $800.00. Then I found an OD in Maine for $250.00 and sold it for $600. Now I'm up $1,150.00. Found another one at a large salvage business and made $400.00 on it, and another one at a local mechanics shop here in town and made $400.00 on it. Now I'm up $1,950.00. Then last summer I bought a '54 suburban with a 230 engine and OD for $800 and sold the lower tail gate for $300.00 and have the engine and the car yet to part out, so will sell that OD for $800.00 which will add the $300.00 to my hedge fund now at $2,250.00. Then my truck was toasted in a kitten started garage fire and my $2,250.00 went up in smoke along with the grass I had stored in the rafters. You win some and you lose more, but what the heck, it's great exercise and fun to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
