Welder's penetrate deeper!!
So...a few years ago, Imy friend had a 71 in a shed, his father bought it new, and one day, my friend, greg was racing, and overheated the engine, still ran with a strange engine noise, after rebuild, still strange noise, stuck it in said shed. that was the early 1990's. fast forward to 2007, we drag it out, and I got it running again, and ohhh'd and awwww'd over it. Still has strange noise. after I got it running again, greg raced the piss out of it up and down my road, still ran strong. He takes it home, back in the shed.
He lived with his mother who just died, and his brother in law has power of attorney and wants the house, kicking greg out in 1 month.
He knew I wanted that bike, and promised me I would be first candidate.
So today he calls me and tells me the sad news of his mothers passing. 92 years old.
So, the long and short of it is he knows it worth more, and I know its worth more, but since I can only come up with $3,ooo, he will take 3k for the 71, and a 1980 project chop.
I will never cut it, just enjoy the time machine.
It is near perfect for its age, I had to rewire the turn signals so they worked for greg, and since I couldn't get the damn points right, and practically brakeing my leg from trying to start it, pamco pete donated a basic pamco, I put it in, and fired right up. Thanks pete! its almost mine. Im supposed to pick it up tomorrow, and give him moneys in a few days . Wish me luck!!
