My71W200
So its been awhile since I have been able to ride around in another PW, I just picked this one up in June, been super busy and couldn't afford to title/tag her till yesterday. Anyhow picked up on a somewhat sketchy CL deal had been watching it for months but at 4K was way too much, it dropped way down after not seeing it so I called the guy and after numerous attempts to contact drove 85 miles to check it out. She was in sad state flat tires, rusting to pieces, wouldn't crank but the dude told me his buddy had just rebuilt it, then committed suicide, actually it had been sitting for years and years and the poor deceased guys wife wanted it out so she could move on. I got it to crank over but no start we haggled he called her and I loaded it on a flatbed and hauled it home. Ground off 5 layers of paint sealed the rust with corroseal, primed it, painted it with a roller, I know I know but I don't have deep pockets and its gonna be a work rig anyway. So shes up and running with minor issues. Im stoked to be driving in another old Dodge! Unfortunately even though I have reduced the size down to 560K it says its to big too post. OK I used an old camera my cell phone wouldn't go low enough in reduction/nor could my computer.. so lets see if these show!
