Why does my fork feel like garbage when a wheel is in it??

I scored a 2004 Boxxer Race 180mm dual-crown for $20. It's beautifully smooth... Until I put a wheel in the dropouts and then it feels like crap. I don't even have to put the axle in it, I just set the wheel in the dropouts and suddenly there's stiction all through the first few inches of travel and it's nasty. What on earth could be causing that?
