Page D4 of the July 6 Bangor Daily News.
Preconceived notions: A little boy and his daddy made a wooden derby box car for racing down hills in the summer. Ever since the little boy grew up/died his father has been looking at the damn thing in the garage and keeps getting reminded of better days. Now he needs to get rid of it.
At 6:05 -- on the first call -- which never happens -- a woman picked up. She soon put me down and let me listen to her dog bark as she got a man on the phone.
He explained that he bought the car for his wife to use in derbies, but "it was too big for her."
This car is not for racing down hills, though, I guess you could. He said it's a steel frame body to be used for demolition derbies.
"It's never been made into a demolition derby car," he said, making this seem like a selling point. He said all you have to do, depending on track rules, to make it a derby car is take out all the glass, including windows, but not the windshield. Also, he said you'd have to wear a helmet. "Not a lot of work to it. It still runs."
Yours for $400.
