So it Begins

Well, Here is my Goal I have 4 dream cars that I want. However I would never consider myself a greedy person, so we will start off with one.... The four cars, above mentioned are:
  1.   '57 Ford Fairlane Hardtop Convertible
  2.   '63 Ford Fairlane
  3.   '63-67 Lincoln Continental 
  4.   '63  Thunderbird
Now any of these cars would make me a really happy Texan and one can find these cars pretty easily here in Texas. The least expensive of the cars, the 63 Ford, can be bought  for anywhere from 1200 dollars here in south Texas to an easy eight thousand and up. The 67 Lincoln can be found restored at just under 40k.
The Goal of this Blog is to account my journey as I barter my way from a  Deco Crosley phone:

to one of my dream cars.


The target goal is one Year and the rules are as follows
  1. All Items must be bartered; a quid pro quo kind of scenario never money involved.
  2. I cant trade people, animals, or souls.
  3. And The Dream car has to be able to be driven away...safely. 
So join me in my adventure as I go from Deco To Classic, from 0 to 60 and in less than a year!

So if you what do you have to barter with? What would you give me for this phone? Stay tuned to see what I will trade for it!
