Hey! Guess what time it is?
At home recovering from surgery almost a month out of recovery. I get a FB marketplace notification that pops up. Sheeit! You see someone (For their current safety can't disclose at this time) got a look at my previous restoration and heard it fire up and instantly wanted one himself so I kept an eye out. He had found one somewhere else and bought it off images from a distance away for more than this one was advertised and it was super rough, didn't even know if it ran. still doesn't know due to his crazy busy schedule. Anyway, saw this one pop up and called him, left a message. Called the seller, sure enough just posted that morning, asked to go look at it after I drop off my wife later that day. "Well, A guy is supposed to come look at it at noon." I'm weak I know, hook line and sinker. Ok I'm on my way. I text my guy, "Hey you might be buying a sled, If it's clean I'll pay him on the spot. Pay me back, and call me." anyway, I get a few texts as I'm pulling into the guys yard. Sent video, looked it over. Not as rough as I expected or seen from other examples I have seen, hood didn't have a scratch, just sun exposure. For our purposes we didn't intend to go out and by some mint stocker. We want one we could bring back from the brink, breath some life back into it. I negotiated with the guy and paid the man. He was kind enough to bring it to my house and load it onto my trailer (lived about 5 miles away) since I was unable to lift anything from surgery. So This is what we are starting with.
