A lesson in Wat's sense of humor: take things he says with a grain (or several tons, as needed) of salt. Hence staff equals staph, and I so very much doubt that this car has more than been on a military base by accident.


It is 1401-10025, I think - it's hard to read. It has no whiskers like my other 1401. They weren't included. The trunk floor is shot (to be expected), there is rust-through in the floor at the driver's seat (Briggs at work), and the rockers are rusty (again, no surprises). The bottom rear of the driver's fender has a small dent and there is a pinhole rusted in the front above the side grills, but it's pretty solid for 81 years old. Definitely repairable. The passenger fender is great. Bumpers are decent. Interior may have issues but what I have looked at is pretty good. The engine is complete and (allegedly) runs. The tranny seems to lack o/d, but oh well. The dash is out and there allegedly is a new wiring harness, but I kinda doubt it.


I will probably borrow its fenders for the custom coupe. Always on the lookout for good driver's LWB fenders, at least until I learn how to fix them. There is supposed to be another pair (and car) in my future later this year. Not sure if this car is too good to part. We'll see how Fred weighs in on it.
