It's Sold!
Yes big money, but it will have a good home and be taken well cared for and he does not wan't me to advertise who he is.
C'mon! Tell us! Is there another famous cruiserhead out there?? Hopefully that '78 will be driven and enjoyed and not allowed to collect dust in some hanger or storage garage...
Pics
Hope you have pics of virtually everything and every angle inside, underside and out. Like I think I told you before you could stick them on a cd and sell them for an accurate historical reference. I'll buy and it would seem others would be interested also. BY the way what brrand were those 33 x 9.50 tires that were on it? I tried like crazy to make them out but couldn't quite do it, could see everything but the brand. When is it getting picked up?

I just made it up with an 1980 sky blue I bought yesterday. perfect for a restoration. And it has a factory PTO
Was this the $7500 craigs list truck here in Portland ?
I called the guy on it but couldn't get out there to look soon enough...
