Decisions, decisions... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just found out that I'll be moving pretty soon, so my '67 project that I picked up a week ago will probably have to find a new home soon - not for sure yet. (I'm still trying to figure out if I can use it on a flatbed to haul other stuff) Despite my move, I still spent the day sanding, primering and scrounging junkyards for the stuff I need (I got the suspension parts I needed, thanks anyway guys). However, on my way home I spied this nice little '72 lined up with a row of farm equipment like it is for sale. I called the guy and he wants $2000 for it. It's a '72 Super Cheyenne w/ factory buckets & console. The only drawback is that the 350 has a broken cam, or so he says. I'd really like to go tow it home, but my 8 month pregnant wife doesn't want any more non running projects around. This is kinda stupid but I'm going to poll y'all to help me sway her decision. Thanks....

IF YOU'VE GOT THE TWO GRAND BUY IT. I SEE $2000 WORTH OF PARTS JUST FROM THE PIC. YOU'LL WANT A NEW MOTOR ANYWAY. SHE'LL THANK YOU IN THE LONG RUN. (IT'S THE SHORT RUN THAT HURTS)
