A local auto parts chain by me went out of business so I spoke to the owner of the company about what his plans were for all the old delivery vehicles. He told me they were all going to the junk yard because the new owners didn't want them. I asked him if I can take a look at if he had anything I can pick up cheap. So I drove out to the yard where he had the cars and after going through about 20 pieces of crap something in the back of the yard caught my eye. It was a clean nice and straight 2002 Ford Ranger ext. cab 2wd. I got the key turned it and it started up and ran excellent. So I went to the owner and asked him how much he wanted for it. He said, If you wanna give it new lease on life before it's goes to the junkyard on Friday, you can have it for a penny! That's right, one penny!
Starting in a couple of weeks I am gonna be turning this once abused parts delivery truck to a sweet daily driver sport truck and I will take pics f the whole transformation for all of you to see. I'll post some pics this week.
 
A penny!!!

Some people get all the luck............................

Was this after you found a 4 leaf clover and won the Powerball!?
 
I would call this project penny truck.


Some guys get all the luck.
 
I can't believe it, some guys have all the luck. Was there anything else back there that the rest of us might want? Where is this cheap and magical auto parts store?
 
There was a couple of other Rangers there but pretty badly abused. The only other one that i saw that was worth while ended up having a wicked rod knock when I started it. I buy all my replacement auto parts from this parts store for my business o they pretty much gave me the pick of the litter.
 
Congrats!

This kinda adds a new twist to the phrase "a penny for your thoughts"....
 
has anyone mentioned some people get all the luck
 
Wow thats a hell of a deal. I dont think anyone here can ever beat that!


Like everyone else is saying....Post up some pics!
 
i will give you 100 times the profit for it and haven't seen a picture lol good deal man congrats
 
Actually I can beat that, I got mine for free and its 4wd. But mine is the first year they were made.
