    Thanks all! Yes, I did get the title too. It was sitting under a carport uncovered so it full in dust, dirt & rust. First I'll take a pic & then its bath time.......

    How cool is that. You are def. in the right place for help on getting that puppy up and running. Now go buy yourself a lottery ticket while you're on this lucky streak.

    Wow. Around here a title left in a carport uncovered would blow away pretty quickly. 8O

    J/K- welcome to the site, and good score!

    df, that would be an awesome find for $500 in my book. Post a pic after you washed it. I bet it cleaned up pretty good.

    Well, over the weekend I gave it a bath and started working on it. I'm thinking of adding pods & a 4 into 1 if I can find it.

    Do you know that adding pods and a 4 - 1 exhaust will not make it faster, just louder? ? ?
