I'm getting encouraged to buy something. A guy makes one casual remark.......

Worst of it is, I'm guilty of it as well! :lol22:

It appears I have bought a '78 LF 440. The one that was on ebay this week.

It is Rainville's fault! If he hadn't made me drive his '78 CC back in Feb, I could have avoided all this.

Then you have Troy and Kevin urging me on, and then Ross, who enabled the whole deal by picking up the sled. Thanks guys, hope I can return the favor. :lol22:

You can do me a favor Brian, I need this thing out of the back of my truck.

Glad I could help. Nice couple of brothers you bought it from, they were happy it was going to a new home and not going to become a part sled.

Later,

Ross

It's not my fault you are weak. You were bound to discover front motor Deeres eventually...

I think everyone should have a '78. I haven't got there yet.

Right back at you Linder!

I bought a MID-Motor today. At least it was a 295/s though! Funny, but it's the same one I bought from Chuck a few years ago. Sold it to Kulda to finance some house projects a few years back, and now own it again. This one will be mechanically rebuilt as an original runner.

And after seeing Kevin Campbells sweet 75 JDX-8, I am thinking I need to mine back together too.

See, we are all bad influences on each other!
