[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 184517, member: 237"] Now, to give you another, real-world example of the story adding to the value of a vehicle. Here are two of my trucks: [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipM13ec403qyVlVtVnnHsLfCbyNJk222mGUI38Bk=s512-p-qv=pnn8gtt0u2di2opnr6q8uc3adjc07gfbt,m=45cd4e9ad78e1e8a988191e1f87af0cc,x=,t=25-iv6793?key=ekZjVjFFSDVid2xxTE54OFlHNGY3SWxucmxMX3Rn[/IMG] The one on the left is a factory High Boy. This means that I didn't put a lift kit on it-- Ford built it that way in the factory in 1978. It's hard to see in the shadows, but I go out of my way to use raised white letter tires on the High Boy because that keeps it period-correct. The truck on the right only has 43,000 original miles on it, and I can document it. The truck was sold new 30 miles from my house (see what I did there, Kenny). The ranch owner's wife used it to pick up her gardening supplies a few times a year. This means that it was never abused by ranch hands (Mickey Trotter) or landscapers, or used by a concrete or construction company. So, to underscore the point, I went out of my way to purchase these two trucks because of the story behind each of them. Hope that helps give context to Kenny Coyote's ad. [/QUOTE]
