Well, I really hate to do this, but I think I might let my wagon go. She's a '54 Chevy 210 Handyman, and she's an absolute time capsule. I found her in a barn, where she'd been sitting for over 30 years. She's got the original 235 straight 6, and the 3 on the tree. She has 82.5K original miles. She's a full driver. The wife and I took her on the Saturday night cruise in town this week. She runs like a sewing machine, but she does have a low howl when you get her up to speed. (not sure if it's something in the driveline or rear bearings?) Interior is gorgeous, and the body is in wonderful condition. It does have a small rust spot on the one rear wheel well that will need some loving attention, a thin line on the rear hatch, and acouple small patches on the floor, but all in all it's very straight and is in outstanding restorable condition. She'll probably need new brakes and bearings, but she is very drivable. The wide whitewall tires are brand new. I had plans to give her a full makeover, with new engine, trans, and running gear, and a full custom paintjob, but I've simply got too may irons in the fire right now, and need to finish the projects I've already got underway. I could let her sit until I can get to her, but I'd rather let someone else give her a good home and give her the love she deserves, than to let her sit. She's located on the Southern Oregon Coastline, and has a clean/clear title in hand. $14K This is what I have into it now, so I'm just looking to recoup my money.
