So, here's the story:
Back in '07, my grandfather passed down his F100 to me. Skip ahead two years and due to financial hardship, I had to sell it. This was an extremely difficult thing to do, even more difficult to tell him about it.
Skip ahead to present day; I see the truck on Craiglist. BTW, the truck has a 390, C6 and is in overall good shape w/ no rust at all.
My dilemna: I really want to buy the truck back for sentimental reasons, but his price is a little high for me, although I can swing it. He's asking $3200 and I've got him down to $2300, which is his bottom dollar. The truck needs paint(got a buddy that can help
and tires(he left it in the sun
). It also needs a few other odds and ends as well. However, the motor is good and I rebuilt the trans before I sold it. I also put on a nice dual Flowmaster exhaust system.
My gut is telling me to pull the trigger, but it's nice to hear what others have to say. I'm also thinking that $2300 isn't really a bad price all in all. It's not a perfect truck but does mean a lot to me. I also don't want to regret letting it go.
Here's a mediocre pic of the truck:
