Wow, whats the story?
Yesterday I spotted this on CL, 7 hours after it was posted. IN THE FREE SECTION. There was one pic.
Communication w/ the owner was a nightmare, and I wasn't even sure it would be there when I left at 6:30 to go get it.
The guy said it was left by the previous owners and that it was "about 15 years old" and worn, but still worked.
With the knowledge I got from this place, I knew it was a 56-57. BUT, I wasn't aware of this paint scheme. I thought someone had had some fun somewhere along the way and had psychodelecized it!
When I returned home, I logged in and saw the pic of the one here and couldn't believe my luck.
Basically I took a nice drive through gorgeous upstate NY, bought some great produce, and was given this classic.
Pinch pinch pinch!
(More than makes up for the nearly-new 22.5 OTG Simpsons for $50 I missed a week ago!)
