Last pics for now.
Wood handle



One of the wheels. Most of the work on this one will be shining up the legs and especially the triangle which has a little light rust.

That's incredible!!!


Rare to find this color w/o all the heat cracks / crazing & lid chips that are usually present....enjoy that one (& try not to burn too,too high of heat!!)

That is an incredible find. Such a beautiful condition Lime.

Looking forward to minor clean-up pics.  I'll bet it will look brand new.

That Lime is the closest to mint as I have seen.....and I have a very good one here.

..........Leading up to you getting this I don't recall reading about it in online finds. Smart.

Wow! That's nice.

Thanks! My biggest concern is how it will look when I take it out in the light. I love how it looks in the auction house picture, but when I look at it in the back seat of my truck I don't love it. It looks less Limey and more Simpsons grill yellowish. Hopefully that is because the light is filtered thru tinted back windows.

One thing I don't do is get so excited that I have to post up a grill that I am interested in. This was only a couple of days from the time I found it until the auction ended. If you read the link that I previously posted, you will see that it was over a month from the time I found it until the auction ended. That sucked. I was really excited about that one, especially since the listing only listed grill and not Weber in the title/ description so I thought it might be missed. After looking at that listing almost every day for a month, my excitement waned because  hunting season had started. I had other things things I wanted to do more than driving five hours to pick it up, so I passed the info on to the nearest WKC member I found on the member map.

Damn! That lime couldn't have been cooked on more than a few times. I don't see one chip or handle strap blowout. GRATE FIND!! Looks like a 1975.

That shit looks mint!
Great find, one of the best limes I've seen up here
