So this is in possession of my Wife's aunt. Her husband died recently, he was the original owner. I was thinking about floating her an offer and taking this on as a project.
Located in Rural central Idaho
I am an 80 series guy so I don't really know the in's and outs of 40's, I have been reading the FAQ and some threads here, as always MUD is a great resource. I got it started without much drama and drove it around the block, it wasn't running great but I understand it's been sitting for a couple years so the carb is probably gummed up. steering and brakes felt fine, transmission felt good too. The body is pretty much shot. This might as well have been in the north east, they salted the roads in the area and it really ate this thing alive. The tub, fenders, running boards are completely shot. The firewall/cowl looks pretty good but would need a repair at the bottom right behind the wheel wells. The grill, hood, top and doors all seem to be in fine shape. The frame looks good except for the very rear where the braces are that attach the shackles to the frame. Its very complete and original, with some very period mods and lots of character.
I'll be staying up here for a couple days so I can get more photo's and pics if needed.
I was thinking $5k?
specs:
1981
2F 4 speed
144K miles
One Owner
Runs, drives, leaks
No P/S
No AC
