'61 Scout "Airborne"
I took a customer a delivery late last fall and he had this old girl sitting in his yard. We started talking about it, and after a while he just asked if I wanted it and if I had a trailer! (You can BET it didn't take me a minute to scrounge one up!)
Obviously it's rough, but that's why it's a "learning project" (did I mention FREE?) I couldn't think of a better name so I just started calling her "Airborne."
It got ran around several deer leases (scratches, dents, dings) rolled on a paintball course (lack of top doors, and windshield), and then parked and not touched for about 10 years, and when I got her to my shop this is how she looked:
Of course, there's no telling how many times you need to multiply that 39k miles by.
All that said, it didn't take anything but points/condenser, plugs/wires, rotor cap, and a little fuel in the carb to get her turned over. So she lives, and now the fun begins!
