Another one followed me home last night...

Complete 80' 4/6.  It'd be in excellent shape if it hadn't been left outside.   :-\

It'll be a parts sled.  The motor is seized solid.  I'm hoping I can salvage the cylinders, I soaked them with penetrating oil last night to see if it'll free up.

I could really use a pan and a battery hold down if you don't need them. :D

I think you have a Kawasaki problem.   :D (secretly I'm just jealous of another good find.)

It was only an hour drive from my house, and it was priced very low.  I couldn't pass it up!  I won't be fixing this one, its too far gone.  It will be used as parts for my other 4/6.  It's a fifty footer...it looks good from 50 feet away, but up close its not such a pretty picture.  The seat is hard as a rock, the gas tank is very faded, the hood has zero cracks but the paint and decals are very faded, the carbs and engine are seized, I seen one rust hole in one of the pipes, the list goes on.

It'll be a good parts sled for everyone to enjoy once you're done with it.....

Save those vintage parts...they're like muscle cars, beautiful women and home brewd liquor.....when you find one of them, you hold on to it  like your life depends on it.......
