    The best thing about it is that it's probably reliable enough to be a daily driver, but even in California it would be exempt from emissions testing!

    Looking at it again, I wonder if it runs. No air filter / looks like some shit in the carb but hard to tell. Hopefully no water got in the engine. Plus some hacked up wiring.

    The pictures sort of clarify things though.

    That poor thing has been ridden hard and put away wet. 38k might be when the odo broke.

    Someone would have to want a full on resto job to enjoy it. Even if they are into the patina craze.

    I feel like thats to be expected for something thats 50 years old. Dont see anything in the pictures that indicates it was totally abused, other than engine hoist bolted to the bed :D

    Id be more worried about something down the carb and engine health as I mentioned. And maybe legal / title issues? IDK
