Yeh' quite a story behind this beauty.
I was over at a feller' i had got to know pretty well at our local swapmeet house who also did custom painting' having my GN. Q2 2184 painted .
We were chatting away while i inspected my engine and he said Larry' seeing as your from Minnesota i have something you might be interested in,And he dug around in his closet and pulled out the most pathedic looking engine i ever saw.
Someone must have painted it with a 8 inch brush with old weathered black paint the decals were so crooked and lopsided the guy must been a alcoholic going thru withdrawl with the worlds worse case of the shakes 'lol .
I looked at it and said thanks but Ahhh' I do'nt think so!
So he said tell yeah what I'll do...I'll clean'er up and paint it any way you want. OK says I and if i like it I'll buy it. but $275 is as high as I'll go.
Of course this was back in 1981. But as you can see I did buy it and its been one of my prizes ever since.
Now' if i can just convince people that NO ITS NOT A BIGBOY!!! sign1
