Steal of a deal, right?! After exchanging a few texts with the owner, we had scheduled a time to take the Brick for a joyride, exuberant that the 1979 pile of yellow even started. We piled into the three-seater couch seat and took the beauty for a creeping, 10 mph stroll around the owner’s yard. We were sold instantly. After expressing our excitement and interest in the truck, we shook hands with the owner and planned on coming back the next day with cash to exchange for this timeless, priceless machine.
