- What? You paid forty cents for a car? Luxury! Must be nice to have that kind
- of cash to throw around. Why, just in this morning's mail is an ad from
- someone who's giving a car away completely for free. It's true - as Dave Barry
- says, I'm not making this up (see excerpt below).

- I would have bought it, but I don't buy any car unless the seller actually pays
- me.

- Hi,
-
- I need to find a home for my old car that I don't use anymore. I'm moving soon
- and can't keep holding on to it. I want to give it away to someone who could
- use it.
-
- The car:
- 1973 Plymouth Duster
- Blue w/ white vinyl top
- Slant 6 225 engine, Automatic
-
- Condition:
- Body - moderate rust; paint in decent shape; looks presentable.
- Engine & Drivetrain - good condition. Many new parts.
- Interior - pretty clean and everything works.
- Suspension & Steering - one upper control arm bushing and one or two ball
- joints (depending on judgement) need replacement; everything else is solid.
- Tires, exhaust system - both fairly new.
- Brakes - good; pedal solid.
