Popular Post D-Day Posted October 25 Popular Post Share Posted October 25 Not quite 45 years ago but this is from 35years ago my 49 Willy’s pickup is still my favorite repowered with a 327 and 4 speed it was a lot of fun 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74626-car-i-had-45-years-ago/page/4/#findComment-560762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Terry T Posted October 25 Popular Post Share Posted October 25 I believe that I have had 14 cars & 4X4's. 4 Cycles, 2 Suzuki's & 2 Harley's. I'm not counting campers, ORV's or golf cars. Once I ordered & paid for my 1993 K1500 Silverado I slowed down on buying & selling. I kept that one 7 years, replaced it with a 2000 K2500 that I still own and added a few vehicles since that one. It is now my plow truck & wood/scrap hauler. My daily is a 2014 Duramax powered Silverado. Below is a "fleet" pic. I've since sold the XJ8 but I still have the bug and a friend is trying to sell me her 1994 XJS Convertible with 18,800 miles on it. The seats still look brand new but I'm resisting.... 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74626-car-i-had-45-years-ago/page/4/#findComment-560764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it had a lot of torque, we pulled logs with it, and what ever else we were f'n with.. You probably had the big 4 cylinder, the 196 cubic incher, half a 392. I had a tow bar on the front of my '64, and I pulled a few logs with it too. A friend of mine had several maple trees he wanted cut, and they were just across a little creek at the edge of a field. He said I could have them for firewood if I wanted them, and not to even worry about clearing the brush. So I hooked the old Scout behind the old F100, went over and cut the trees, then used the Scout to pull them out into the field where I could cut them up and load the wood easily. I'll post a picture of it the next time I'm on the computer. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted October 28 Popular Post Share Posted October 28 Here's the old '64 Scout, as promised. cutting some ruts across a muddy field. Another Scout I had The last motorcycle I had. The brown Skylark in the background was mine too. In front of H.H. Moore Jr. Trucking Co, early 80's. Those pictures are all scanned photos, and they just don't hold up too well. 5 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 Sorry about that bud. I didn’t notice it was a Kawasaki OK so the Kawasaki looked a lot like my Yamaha 1100. I actually like the bike but I sold it to buy my first Harley.

Then I bought an Olds Cutlass Supreme, which was a really nice car- one I should have kept probably- anyway, it had an Olds 350 in it, power everything, great looking car. So I sold the Buick to another driver at H.H. Moore's. He lived in Covington and wanted something to drive back and forth to Appomattox. He wanted to know if I would put him on the installment plan, he said he would pay me $50 a week. I didn't need the car, I'd known this guy for several years, so I agreed. I think he paid me about $100 down, don't remember for sure, but I'm sure it wasn't much. As you've probably already guessed, he quit shortly after that, and I never saw another dime for the car. About a year or more later I ran across another driver I knew who lived in Covington, he used to drive for H.H. too. I asked him what "jigsaw" was doing, and told him about the Buick. He said "oh, he said he didn't pay you because the motor locked up". Maybe it did, but it ran fine when he left H.H. Moore's in it headed home to Covington, and I didn't guarantee anything. I never even tried to get the rest of the money or anything, but he wasn't on the Christmas card list afterwards🤣 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 The Cutlass looked about like this, light green, same wheels, but it didn't have the black top or stripes.

mowerman Posted October 29 Author Share Posted October 29 Wow that’s sharp haha and yes I knew your story was going to swing that way I have a similar situation I gave up Harley to a buddy of mine quite a while ago. I haven’t seen any money yet, but it was a handshake deal. This guy is honorable. I told him just take it. I wanted it to go to a good home $3000. Pay me when you get the money, haven’t seen anything yet. My wife talks to him all the time on Facebook. He actually moved out of the area he offered to bring it back a couple of years ago. I told him we made a handshake deal. I believe you pay me when you get the money, he said OK I don’t think this guy would screw me. I just don’t think he has the money yet.

A number of years ago I had a '68 Mustang fastback, 302 4sp with air. A friend wanted to buy it for his son that was graduating from HS. They came and looked at it and the son was really excited. The sale was $4000 (remember this was years ago). They gave me half and a promise for the other half in a month or so. I even threw a nice Mustang jacket. Of course months and years passed with broken promises. Then the father died and the son had moved away. After what I thought was an appropriate amount of time I called the wife who said she had nothing to do with it and wouldn't give contact info for the son. Since I had a lien on the title I figured I would hear something sooner or later but never did or as an optimist would say haven't yet.. 1 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74626-car-i-had-45-years-ago/page/4/#findComment-561085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted October 30 Popular Post Share Posted October 30 Those stories suck,, In the beginning you're kindness and good intentions were in the forefront.. I 'm sorry guys.. So just because, I will turn this around.. I sold an 89 K-10 to a guy I knew who had drug problems and a hrad life but was a kind person.. the price was $1200.00.. He wanted the truck but needed to make payments. I siad 'ok' he gave me a couple hundred bucks, then a couple more small payments, and he was honest at first.. then it happened... no contact, and no return calls... months go buy and I hear someone yelling my name.. There he was standing at my fence... He said his sister stole the truck and wrecked it, and he had gone too jail at the same time for simple possesion... he appologized to me, and handed me $350.00 of the remaining $500.00 he owed me, even though the truck was totaled... he said he made a promise to me and would keep it.. I took the money, shook his hand, thanked him and said,, We are even.. take care of yourself. Sometimes honesty will show itself.... His Nick Name is 'Cowboy'... 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74626-car-i-had-45-years-ago/page/4/#findComment-561086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
