You have to respect the fact that they know what they got! They even spelled the name right.

Rare? Looks like well done, to me!
Ran when parked. This is a rare Allis Chalmers WD. Only 1 of 146,125 made. It's hard to find them in this kind of shape. One of these that belonged to Steve McQueen's brother-in-law's roommate's cousin's neighbor and sold at Barrett Jackson for $75,000. So you could easily spend double that to make less than half back. Has snap couple hitch. Will help load. No lowballs, I know what I have.
Come on people, this is as 'Murican as it gets. This thing probably grew the corn your grandparents ate in their cornflake. You can buy it as a father/son project so you can bond, because you know you've been feeling like you've been drifting apart. You can have little spurts of activity around the holidays but ultimately it will just be a symbol of failed projects or your failure as a parent. Or better yet use it for yard art! Now that busybody neighbor won't be bitching about that rusted out 6 cylinder Chevelle on jackstands in the driveway that you were going to put a big block in, but it really wasn't as easy as a swap as the said on the internet forums. Now so much time has passed that you might as well go for the LS upgrade instead, but you know there really is something about doing it old school. Might as well sit on it for another few years because you have all those big blocks parts, but the LS really would be a better choice...decisions, decisions...
Don't let this be ground up and turned into a Toyota!

I dare you to reproduce that one of a kind dent in the hood. Would help if he gave you beer and told how it saved his grandma's life.
