I'm in Central Oklahoma, and just found this forum... and looking forward to reading and learning!
I'm 54, married with 2 grown kids. My passion is dirt bikes and ADVenture bikes, and about anything off road. My handle is durtrider on another forum so I figured I'd stick with that.
I'm an Auctioneer. I sell commecial and residential real estate, farms and ranches, wholesale autos and equipment. I also contract out, such as the Barrett--Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale since '04, and I've seen some REALLY nice rigs come across over the years.
I bought a '96 LC two days ago, and I'm PUMPED!! I'll get some pics up soon when I get it sorted out.
I don't know all the terminology and numbers you guys use for descriptions yet..other than its an 80. This truck is 184,000 miles, black, nearly new Michelin tires, sunroof, leather, automatic, and it has the lockout switch. It's probably about an 8.5 on a 10 scale. It seems to have been very well cared for by its prior owner.
The bottom side shows no rust, the oil is clean and the motor has no leaks. The drivers seat leather is torn and needs to be fixed or recovered(the rest looks new), the right speaker in the door is blown, there are two quarter sized rust spots on the leading edge of the hood, and the antenna won't retract. I swear I don't think it's ever been down a gravel road!
As an auctioneer I've had the opportunity to own a 40, three 60's, and one 70. Rarely does a nice LC cross the auction block that isn't used up unless it's a late model or priced to the moon, and I NEVER see any 60's in the dealer trade car auctions anymore. Ten or 15 years ago I'd see about two or three a year.
I've been watching, and this one just fell into my lap. So again, I'm excited to be part of the club again, and I'm looking forward to learning from ya'll!

wtf is the red man? (showing my ignorance) Selling Ranches ? I fancy a ranch - how much and how big? Swap for a cottage in deepest Dordogne 
the heat out there must be getting to you , i have a lovely little house in Wales if you want to swap and it hasn't rained here for at least an hour .
