Hi all!
I have seen this car and was originally going to go get it about two
years ago, but was not able to work the trip out. It is a chocolate
brown color with the large red/white/blue stripes (read ugly) and pretty
rusted (rust-through) around the wheel wells. It had had some sort of
fire in the electrical system (not too bad) and the interior wasn't too
bad, from what I remember. It would take a dedicated restorer... The
engine was okay but he said it hadn't run in quite some time, I think.
I don't think there was anything wrong with it. The frame had some rust
but not rust-through. Hazards of being up north! I think I have some
pictures of it somewhere, I won't be able to send them to anyone until
after the Thanksgiving holiday, though.
Good luck!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
