New to me.
My Dad fixed this up back in 1983. Before he passed, he gave it to my older brother. It's been sitting in his barn covered for years.
New battery, new gas and some starting fluid and I'm driving it home this afternoon.
Shes going to to need brake work and the front end has a shimmy but she doesn't look so bad.
All orginal. Dad gave it to him so I wouldn't rod it
I guess I can't now.

Love it!
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?
