he does NOT believe in pictures, here some of his comments:
Anyone who only look at ads with pictures is ignorant and narrowminded.
Please tell me how to live so I can be like you!
The one of me currently has a car, truck, project car, project truck, motorcycle, camper, motorboat, house in town, house in the country, and NO JOB!
And I'm probably younger than you, haha!
Thanks for the well wishes, but I don't need luck. I'm just good.

That's right, people make time for what is important to them.That's
why I know that someone who is REALLY interested will MAKE TIME to
COME and look.
I know that people are busy; I keep busier than anyone I've ever met.
But I'll drop what I'm doing if something more important comes up.
That's why I'm 'dropping'
this truck; I've got more valuable things to do with my time.Most
people claim to be busy...but how many hours do they waste watching
television or doing other useless things, I wonder...
And heck, someone who's too busy won't have time for a project
vehicle!
Pictures of cars generally don't show enough detail to prove anything.
Especially on OLD cars/trucks where dings and rust and every little
detail matters.I have bought at least a hundred cars (and looked at
hundreds more than that, mostly in my younger days).Many of the ones
that looked good in pictures looked not so good up close, and vice
versa. Pictures are usually misleading with automobiles.
Pics only sell certain kinds of things well, and only to certain kinds
of people.In general, people like to see a picture, it makes them
'feel good.'But this type of item requires more than that.
Project type vehicles ALWAYS require an in person viewing, so pics
only eliminate the amateurs, they don't make the sale.My entire ad
was designed to eliminate certain kinds of people.Believe it or not,
I actually know what I'm doing, but thanks for the well meaning
advice.

Well, if I took the time to pressure wash it, it would look better.
But if someone can't see past a little mildew and leaves, they are't
prepared for any kind of project.

A picture will only show you that it is a 79 chevy swb truck (at least
any pic that I can get with my cheap digital camera).It won't show any detail.

the few offers I've gotten weren't much better than scrap prices.
