I haven't communicated w/ seller...it may have been scrapped.

I posted about that a few weeks ago. It has been up for quite a while. I debated trying to save it but it will need a lot of work. The bottom of the bowl is pretty rusted out.

I have a brother that lives in columbus that could possibly agent it for me. I emailed the seller to see if it is still available.

Just talked to the owner, it is still available. I'm sure everyone shys away from it due to the condition of it. I'm going to see if I can get my brother to go pick it up for me. Has anyone had any issues with welding to the bowl to patch large holes?

I have seen it. Would love a redhead, but not in that condition. I cant even imagine what it has been through. I am not too far if anyone wants it I could swing over and grab it. Just cant imagine it would be worth shipping, but to each his own..

I am working on scheduling with the seller for my brother to pick it up. It will definitely be a project. I won't actually get it from my brother until October so it will give me something to do this winter.

At least get it for parts. It appears that there's nothing wrong with the lid. Good luck.  :)

Sounds good, I am here if you need it, just let me know and I can swing over and get it for you if it doesn't work out with your brother getting it.

Thanks, I am going to at least try to restore it. If not, will be saved for parts.

A few more pictures are below. Not much worse then I expected. It is a crooked "k" date code, so it is a 1988.
