As Close as I've Gotten

My best chance at a pretty original '66 156 LR......so bam !..... I took it.

Other than the rear tires and a few decals....it seems pretty original to me.

The little son-of-a-buck could not run any better. Bump the starter and it purrs from idle to full throttle.

I have an original complete 156 deck so that sealed it for me.

 

I dont plan on touching the paint except for a gentle washing. I heard linseed oil might work to kind of sharpen up the paint but who knows.....

 

Feel free to let me know what you think.......$300

That's a nice one!

Very nice score!!!

Not sure what it means to NOT spend 300 hours, $500, and 20 trips to get parts before enjoying a beer and a ride but I may be able to get used to it.

Very nice score. We can't even buy decent decks for $300.00 in the land where  forgot us.

Wash that ol' timer down, using a red Scotch Brite pad... 

then a quick rub&buff using some of this.  

 

Protects that original paint, & give's it that nice warm glow we're all looking for. 

Pict here illustrates the before and after results you can expect to achieve.

Dan nice pick up. It looks real nice. I have some rear tiers for that if you would like them . they just need paint . Just have to pay for shipping.  They are in good shape.

Looks mighty fine to me!

You stole it!  Thief!

I'd just clean it up and find a matching set of rear tires.
