First Dream I've worked on in over 40 years.

Was looking through Craigslist and found a 1966 CA77 for $675. I couldn't resist taking a look at it. The owner said it had been setting for over ten years so I figured it would be in bad shape. When I got there we hooked a battery to it and it fired right up. Runs like a- well- like a Dream. No smoke, goes through the gears fine. Suspension seems to be fine mechanically. So I bought her home, another project that I'm going to enjoy! Tried to download a picture but no luck.

Those look to be original tires so must be low mileage. I'd say well bought from the looks of things.

Wowee! $675!

Way jealous. My basket case cost more than that. Throw some better mufflers and a set cover on that baby (oh yeah, tires too) and ride it!

Thanks! Speedo shows about 5200 miles.

Just curious, where in NC are you? As you can see I'm in Angier.
Sometimes I wish I'd bought a rider. I'm about $4 K into restoring my $230.00 basket case. But I did buy it as a long term project with no expectation that I'd ever get back what I put into it.
