Your story reminds me of the 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with the 383 motor I found on a used car lot. The salesman told me that I couldn't test drive it due to their being no gas in the tank.

I still wonder if my being 18 years old at the time had something to do with it?

Except I was in my later 20's and had $5500 to spend.
