    Thanks! Looks like they have the kit in stock too.

    Question- Any recommendation for best vendor to source a complete set of cooling system hoses? Might as well swap out thermostat too. I've got that leak at thermostat housing, but all hoses look iffy, so might as well replace all.

    We definitely support Enstrom’s…often.

    I was actually glad it didn’t have one. Generally just the wife and I. I’d rather keep the rear open for camping gear….and maybe another dog eventually (we are currently without).

    Hah, yes it was really hard to get interior photos earlier. So. Much. Stuff! Yes, the bottom half of the jump seat is safely stored in the garage. The tubing/frame is shot but cushion is good. Haven't taken a hard look at it, but imagine I could make a good seat with a different lower frame...

    Yes! Perfect in the summer time. Love it when your legs stick. Takes me back.

    Definitely need new seat covers, but will just find something cheap and fun for now. Recommendations? I'll get the good OEM style covers eventually.

    Lots of stickers to remove, but this one is staying. I definitely do!

    Dammit. Didn't start leaking for 2 hours, after money was exchanged and until it was a substantial distance away from its former home. Pretty sure the 40 wanted to be saved, and was scared I would leave it if I knew too much.

    They are certain this is original. In their defense....it has been in the same family since around 1980, and used Spring-Fall at the family vacation home in Crested Butte where it lived. Even if the mileage is correct....it's like dog miles. They definitely used it as it should be!

    I don't need no stinkin' radio. I can just pretend with this creative solution. Support Local!

    Hmmm.....Not sure what went there, but I dig the fix!

    Going to add a few pictures taken Sunday while starting to clean it out. Rear was full of junk, some carpet, the second half of a jump seat and more rust than I initially noticed. Rubber mat (original?) didn't do me any favors, and surely trapped moisture for 48 years. Looks like some is just...

    Definitely. Short runs around Downtown for now while I get a few things figured out. I need to go through the cooling system, flush and replace hoses and thermostat housing gasket for sure.....she's leaking. Hope to see you around.

    I ended up paying $12K, and now that I have it...wish I had offered $10K instead. That said I love it!

    Got it back to Grand Junction. Drove it from Crested Butte to Gunnison, and decided to trailer it from there. After running it for a while, it started steadily leaking coolant from the thermostat housing/gasket (easy fix). So decided not to risk a 100 or so mile drive through the mountains...
