I came close, but missed buying this one
« on: December 21, 2007, 07:15:32 AM »
I was seriously planning on buying this, but was third in line to see it.  The first person to see it bought it.  $600.

Three owners.  Current owner has had it for a long time, and hasn't run it in 20 years.  In his heated basement.  Apparantly pretty much perfect.

I have a 66 model we bought new, great little outfit! It's in pieces but I've acquired most of the parts I need to restore.

Was the guys name Ted?

I dig the speedo design- how the needle overlaps the odometer, while the shift points are unobtrusively printed on the face as well.
