A buddy called me up one day, and said we needed to go look at a car in a barn that was only 3 miles away. The owner slid open the garage door to reveal a really rough 1963 Jag E type coupe that needed everything. I believe it had the inline 6, and hadn't ran in 20 years.
We asked the price, and he replied "25". We did a little math on the $$ it would take to get it back on the road, and then the additional $$ it would take to make it presentable, and politely declined.
On the way home in the car, I asked my buddy "did he mean 25 hundred, or 25 thousand ? He was thinking the same question, but we wisely declined to turn around, and ask....absolute money pit.
