I went with a friend today to look at this:
His brother in law gave it to him. Now we have to get it running.
It's missing the starter and has a "simple" electrical problem that no one can remember what it was. All in all considering it has been sitting for two years it's in fair shape other than being nasty. Not sure what the friend plans to do with it, but for free why not.
Here is some of the other stuff sitting around and in his shop.
Wow! Some pretty cool stuff "sitting around"!
I see GRM a Richard Petty tribute......STP FTW !
I don't know nuthin' 'bout 18 wheelers.
I had a 1971 Charger, the hood was as long as a football field. 318 2bbl, it got 8-9 MPG no matter how I drove it.

Neat stuff.
The blue Charger is a '73. I think the maroon one is a '72. The Chevy truck cab is a '64-'66.
And the '67 Shelby is a fake.

Yes it is, but still cool looking. His boss gave it to him just before Christmas. I wish I had a boss like that.
The maroon Charger looks like a '73-74 SE with the quarter window louvers missing. It doesn't look like the correct angle on the opening for a '71-72. The grill is the '73-74 style.
So is he giving the Chargers away too? I'm really glad you aren't in PA...

8 MPG and no roughroad ability? Psssh!
I ahve always wanted one of those!!!
It has been resting for two years, so I assume it is not the best.
I had the chance to buy about the same tractor here at work a few years ago for around $1200. The turbo had locked up and I suspect they suspected it had put some metal into the engine. They sold it when I got serious about it, which is the way they do business here.
RV Conversion? Would make a hell of a tow rig for a race trailer. Something like this.
