Title: The Search is Over!!!
Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 10, 2014, 12:28:25 pm
A buddy called me up a few weeks ago and stated he found me a good 81, I was hesitant at first as Ive had a few cross my path in the last 15 years but was never able to get one bought, a week later he texted me a few pics. That got my attention, after a few hours of negotiations we agreed on a price and that he would meet me with it next week end. It was a looooong week but he came through and now I have this crown jewel sitting in my shop. 2014 has been a great year to say the least....

I bet it does! Looks great all lined up! Do you have plans to restore them all?


Title: Re: The Search is Over!!!
Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 11, 2014, 11:11:12 am
Yes they will all eventually get full restorations, Since the RC is presentable I may do a quick rehab on it and get it vending product again for the upcoming holidays.
