Wow neat!!!!
Brings back some fond memories. I had a neighbor with one of those stuffed back in a shed back in the late 60's..... it hadn't run in years I did my darnedest to buy it from him. He wouldn't sell but ended up hiring me to get it running and mechanically road worthy, mostly little things and a brake job.
It even still had the hand crank mounted behind the seat and by the time I got done you could hand start it if you wanted to.
After I got done with it he sent it out for paint and upholstery....about the same green that one started out as. It eventually went to one of his grandkids when he passed.
Oh well I probably would have just hot-rodded it anyway
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
