Awesome score and story to boot, what did you have for breakfast?

Leave it to you Joe (lol).  Ham steak, eggs over easy, wheat toast and fruit bowl substituted for potatoes.

Awesome score! 

What does the inside look like under all the aluminum foil?

I will try and remove the foil, clean it up today hopefully and post some photos.

Cleaned up pretty easily.  Bowl vents were frozen but freed up quickly with PB Blaster.   





The peel on this one is really heavy and not just on the lid.  The bowl has a heavy peel to.  I like the look of the peel, but if this were to happen nowdays, folks would be vilifying Weber on Social Media. 









Think I will be keeping this ripply little Warrior.

That foil kept it looking brand new or what? Hopefully you saved some of that old foil, could make a nice vintage tinfoil hat!

It was actually pretty smart on the original owners part for long term storage.  There was no direct contact between the grates which likely were rusty to the bowl.  I do not believe aluminum will rust so it was a pretty great barrier.  Almost all of the rust damage you see in the grills comes from the grate rusting until in compromises other parts of the grill. 

That was a stupid lucky find man.  Congrats!
