And the ones here in Long Island and NYC are all either completely beat to shit, have major issues, and/or rust everywhere.

I should move to a rust-free environment.

If it drives that's better than most Fords of its age.

I bought a 4x4 Tacoma for less than 2k. I don't know how. This thing is worth about 4x what I paid for it in an insurance claim.

Welcome to the Northeast - I don't think you can find many decent, non-rusted cars for under $2k these days, and trucks are always worth more.

What's wrong with that one? It's just like the Dodge Dakota convertible, Except it's a bit lighter!

Here's everything that is a truck (or maybe a van) listed in my hometown of beautiful, rust free Pahrump, NV Yes, some are not much more than the "Ford Speedster" in your cover photo. And yes, there are some of these with rust, condition issues, mechanical issues, completeness issues etc. Some have real potential aside from being a complete continent away from your location. Who knows if some of them are still available, too.

You're from Pahrump? Cool. I had a chance to hang out with some folks at Spring Mountain. Quite the place.

Only way I'd think of this being plausible is it being body on frame.

I've seen lots of amazing cars en-route to events. I have never been to the park, though.

Honestly, it's not normally the kind of place that I'd go to. It was like a Golf and Country Club - something for old, rich, white guys with a lot of money. I had done some photography for a dentist, and he invited me down there to go for a ride in his Radical SR8. I normally wouldn't have been able to go, but had just lost my job, so I went for the heck of it. I'm just glad he didn't ask for any details of where I'd stayed the night before. (I found a random side street, and slept in my car).

Still turned out pretty fun, though. It's definitely a pretty cool track they have out there.

What they don't know won't hurt them!
