New Guy From Oregon
Hello everyone!!!!
 Names brian, I had a 72 LB for a few years when I was younger it was sweet! and owner and all, I had to sell it and have regretted it ever since  So 2 days ago I had the chance to purchase a 71 SWB (for an investment)  Picked it up from a guy w/divorce probs for 5 g's been sitting in his garage for 5 yrs, think fired right up  fresh paint from 6 yrs ago all new everything (in boxes) air cab, factory buckets,tilt column, lowered old coke bottles on it and pretty damn straight.So I know I could make a little money on it, and that's what I told the wife I was going to do but I've fallen in love again and I don't want to get rid of her! What to do.. I KNOW some of you have been in the same situation and advice would be appreciated. Brian |
