The wife was off at work on Saturday so I took the boys to the auction to have a bit of fun. We were going to bid on a 26' travel trailer to go with the truck I bought a few months ago (95 F150 4x4, 351, 3.55 gears, warn hubs etc.). Anyways the trailer goes for $50 more than what I wanted to bid but we hang around and watch a bit more.

Long story, short....They drive a black 87 TC up onto the block and a few minutes later the auctioneer yells SOLD! for $900 and points at me. I hadn't looked at the car and was only testing the water but it seems ok to me. Got a few dents, a broken turn stalk, broken nose, what appears to be a bad oil pressure guage and a few other little things but it runs (190,000kms), no smoke

I was looking for a donor car for the Stang but the wife appears to like the TC so I guess I'll keep looking........

I agree, I've always wanted to go to an auto auction.

She wants it that way "quick". Can't have those Camaro's beating her home with the bacon.
