In the mid 90's I noticed a '70 T-Bird for $3500 on the used lot of the local Saturn dealer. Had to pull in and check it out. It was obviously garaged, salesman said the grandson inherited the car and traded it in on a new Saturn, story was believable, the car even had the sticker from Canal Ford on the bumper.

I ask them how much they would give me for my Lincoln Mark V if I traded it in, they drove it and told me $500. I don't think so, but let's drive the T-Bird. It CATCHES FIRE before we get out the lot! The fuel line at the carb was so dry rotted it was spraying gas everywhere.

The porters attempts to extinguish the fire came straight from an episode of Amos & Andy. One guy running with a bucket of soap water trips and spills it all on the other porter, who stops and sprays him with the fire extinguisher, all while the salesman is trying to beat the flames out with his sportcoat.
