Default I may get the 1979 Macho Power Wagon...and something else

If any of you remember, I mentioned that I had seen a all there all stock 1979 MACHO Power Wagon sitting on my buddies land. He is land sitting (a pretty popular thing up here) for a land owner who had some problems with tenants in his rental cabin. The owner is an old guy the tennants were his daughter, her crack head boyfriend and another driuggie who lived on the land long enough to take it from worth a million dollars to almost worth nothing in a couple years.

They left after being told if they didn't they would be arrested. They left a totally straight, all there 1979 MACHO Power wagon, a 1972 Duster that is all there but needs a left front fender and interior, has a 318 auto, and a 1972 stake bed Dodge power wagon.

I have made an offer to clean the undergroth and land up for trade out of the vehicles. The owner does have the titles since they are actually his and were parked up there before the drug crew took over. Luckily, they never sold or traded off any of them for drugs.

BTW it looks like the one in the center of this ad,,, Except it has the yellow roll bar and wheels.

Oh man! That's awesome. You aren't in the rust belt, are you? If I recall, you are in some pretty dry and deserty area. Good luck if you do get it. Usually vehicles that sit for too long around here have no frame or floor.

Ouch. Rub it in man... Rub it in.
That is like dumping salt in the wound, for us in the rust bowl- Literally.

I know, and bummer. Last time I lived anywhere where rust happened was when I lived in the deep south. And when I lived in Cali, on the coast, I washed both my cars and my motorcycle every week to keep rust at bey.
