Hey gang,

After selling my '74 a couple years ago I couldn't stop searching for another 40. Enter Sunny. She's a 1980 US Spec with 38,000 ish original miles. No big plans other than drive until something breaks, fix, repeat! We are in North Texas now so hopefully see you guys around.

One More....

And her future sleeping quarters...

Amazing find! Where did you find her?

Wow!

Such a great find! I’m in love with the mustards.. it seems like there has been quite a few amazing finds out of Texas lately. So jealous

what’s the story behind it? Why such low mileage?

Thanks! In a small town called Pottsboro...couple hours north of Dallas.

Gorgeous 40! Mechanically and electrically yours is very nearly identical to my 3/79. (Assuming yours is <8/80). Reach out if you ever need to compare notes.

Thanks! I am the 4th owner, purchased originally in Houston to be used on a farm, but apparently not much use. Then went to California for a family beach rig/3rd vehicle. The lady I purchased from didn't drive it much at all and she has owned it since the early 2000's. Spent most of it's life in a Morton building waiting to be used! It's not perfect by any means, but I'm happy that I'll be able to use it and not worry about scratches/dings....and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
