Junkyard finds

[Mr70]

A yard by me once had a Black '70 Elcamino roll in on the back of a flat bed around 1998.
I watched it being unloaded into the mud at another end of the yard.I walked over to it after the flat bed left.It had 454 on the fenders,no engine in it as the front end sat really high,but the Hood wouldn't open.The windows were closed and full of dirt,like it had been sitting for 20 years.I managed to wipe off some of the crud and noticed it had a 6500 redline tach.
I walked back to the office and asked how much? It was getting dark and they were getting ready to close,so a young kid employee was working the desk.He told me $500 cash buys it.
I came back the next afternoon with $500,and the Elco was gone.Owner now working the desk said he sold it and the $500 quote was wrong.Never told me how much he sold it for..Wish I bought it for $500 the night before.
