Found a 50th and got a small junkyard score
I was walking a junkyard yesterday and they had a really dark gold/white two tone '68 there. It was TOTALLY picked over. I was ready to move on when I looked a little closer and noticed under the grime that it had a bright gold dash pad, parchment door panels (one) and gold visors on it. All of which were trashed. The truck had been missing all the glass for a long, long time. The seat had been replaced at some point as well with a later model. I thought, could this be a 50th? The glovebox sticker was gone, but it had obviously been repainted a darker shade of gold on top of what appeared to be the correct gold for a 50th. The only part I salvaged from it was the emergency brake cover. There was another extremely picked over '68 right next to it and again, the only part I salvaged from that was the emergency brake cover. I went to the counter and put my two emergency brake covers on the counter and asked "What do you want for those?" He replied, "What the $%^& are they?". I told him and he said "shoot me an offer". I said, "how about $2". He said fine. I'm afraid that when it comes to junkyard scores, this is as good as it gets for me.
