It was lost most of the summer.
I had looked at it early last May and was ready to make an offer but
the PO
slipped under the ever present radar that seems to be around this
part of Appalachian Ohio.

Seems the PO sold it on a payment plan to a youngster neighbor...
geesh, that
didn't work out. On top of the kid screwing up the ignition, putting
the wrong fuel pump on
it, and  removing the power steering pump; he returned to the scene
of the sale (crime)
to steal a few things from the PO... instead of making payments he
took stuff from the PO's
yard and shed. Yeehaw!

Well, the PO got it back and got in touch with my buddy at the local
import
garage and had him contact me to see if I still wanted it. I did, he
offered a price and I
"jumped on it".   I paid an appreciable discount from what I was
originally going to offer.

So... once I get it back on the road I will probably offer it up to
some poor
deluded soul to spend their hard earned dollars on and cherish and
live an "I always wanted one
of those" dreams.

I have a feeling that one of my local buddies will want it and will end
up joining this band of merry men and women and their wonderful
machines.   He had a '79 bus and
daily drives an EV... I know he secretly yearns for a camper.

It's an addiction...                               Hello, my name is
Stephen and I am an addict.
