Potentially making room in @dlzadl ’s garage soon, I’m calling the ‘72 officially shaken down.

I'm debating something here myself, there's a 70 series around the region for sale, might be worth letting the 40 go.

Then again, I could just keep on driving the 40 and keep it simple. Dunno yet.

The 70 series are pretty sexy.

You’ll regret selling it. That thing is beautiful.

That is so true… I sold all of my motorcycle collection … I had sent so much time evenings and weekends searching for parts ..glass beading, re-chroming, painting, building, wiring and the finished bikes were museum quality and ran anywhere. Then I get the idea seeing a pile of money in my hands, sell the bike and start pissing away the money with nothing to show for all that. Then 20 years later that thought hits you and BAM! Too Late!

Jimmy Buffett: “ I made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so fast “.

That’s the main reason, I don’t even drive it down my gravel driveway. It will make the right person very happy.

This has been a pretty long winter- busy but long. Looking through some pics and this one popped up, was a fun day.

Wishing that another MUD member picks this up so we can continue to follow this gem. Hope you get what you’re asking for, this build has been pristine.

Is this the nicest 40 currently out there?

Because if not I want to see one nicer. Wow.

Curious to see what it brings. It better bring the moon plus a little.

Thanks, man. McKeel Hagerty(Hagerty insurance) commented that he’s never seen a Toyota taken to this level. It has also been described a maniacal. We couldnt have done it without the MUD community.
