Thanks Karl, I will be picking it up in the next couple of weeks, just been busy. I am looking forward to seeing what is actually in it. It has the original seat cushions, or at least what is left of them. Have not even checked to see if the motor is free, but what the heck, as Gerald Creely said, "if you can get fire and fuel to them, they will run." I hope it proves to be a diamond in the rough.

Finally getting around to picking up the MB on Sunday. Will post more detailed photos when we get inside it to "see what condition its condition is in."

Bryan Burt, Jimmy Shows and I finally picked up the MB today. She may well be a diamond in the rough. T-84 seems great, engine turns well, looks like she may start with some work. Our guess is has not been cranked in 15 or more years. Show 28,000 miles. Anyone's guess on why she was set aside, breaks, bad gas after setting up a couple of hunting seasons, or just set aside, but may well make a comeback soon and we will post photos. Gas tank gone and one in the back, where the rear seat should be. Top and dog carrier to be removed in the next week or so. As expected, needs rewire. Has potential.
