I had no real plan when I bought it. I've been looking at 60's trucks and suburbans for years and years, always with an eye on originality. This one popped up, I saw the potential, and was lucky enough to win the auction. After taking delivery, lots of time was spent cleaning it as it was sort of a "barn find". As the detailing progressed, it's true condition was shining brighter and brighter. I basically ended up saying to myself.. s--t, this thing is too nice to use!
I do realize there are better vehicles to buy than an old truck if my aim is to turn a healthy profit, and since I am not a wealthy man, I do have to regulate my frivolous expenses to make sure I'm not just throwing money away. In other words, I want to be able to get out what I've put in.
A bit worse than losing money though, is going through life squeezing every penny and missing the simple pleasures... like buzzing around in a near perfect stovebolt!
