What to do with my inoperative, stock '84 Ranger?

I would suggest putting an ad in the classified section here on TRS...

Someone will most likely take it home.

Add some pictures of it also... those go a long way when selling a vehicle.

Besides the time that my ex-wife parked it next to a golf course while visiting her mom's house and got the windshield busted by an errant golf ball, it was running rough and rich. I think it needed a carb replacement. It would often times smooth out after being thoroughly warmed, but she would never bother doing that and would just mash down on the accelerator until finally I think maybe the timing belt jumped timing. It's been parked in the garage ever since then. That was about 10-12 years ago. Since then the radiator crapped rusty water onto the floor and the two front tires are flat. They can be inflated, but will leak out in a few days. That's it. Probably a new battery, some fresh fuel, water in the radiator, oil change, spark plugs, timing belt check and carb replacement would probably get it running.

Who would take the other side? I'd bet that "rough and rich" was jumped timing to start with.
