Re: My new toy
That's cool, but if I brought that home my wife would kill me.

Re: My new toy
Fix it up and put that sucker to work! You can give people a ride to church, Retirement homes: You can offer to give old folks a ride around the block, Field trips from a local school(With proper insurance). Any contribution to your community will make you a hero with your wife and everyone else! Good luck and happy motoring!

Re: My new toy
It's unique for sure. One good thing about it is with that poor little flathead pulling it around you wont have to worry about speeding tickets.

Aerodynamics / flow / style is excellent. I'd check brakes first, as grill condition indicates that it may not have stopped in time at some point. |

Re: My new toy
That thing is awesome! Now I see my jailbar truck collection is incomplete but better you buying than me at this point. One good thing is if the missus kicks you out because of it, you'll still have a place to call home. The little flathead will pull it. That's what transmissions are for!

So the wheels on the bus don't go round and round.  Sorry, couldn't resist. Cool find. What's the hand thingy on the driver's window (photobucket pic)? Signal of some sort?
