Wish you lived close (I'm sure you don't).
Cause I'd be interested in the car. Where I
live, you can pretty much get to anywhere
you want to go at slower speeds with not

I'm on the right side of the country, little place called Maryland. Around here, driving 2X the speed limit is pretty common for many drivers. And the daily wrecks and carnage bear witness to those driving tendencies.
Anyway, I've had fun with the car. It's a solid driver. I searched for a few years before settling on this one. The big money has been spent on it by previous owners so I didn't have to do too much. I did add turn signals, among some other things. They sell a kit for that.

For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer.
