Underway today only.

Went for $30,600.00 BUT the owner has the right of refusal of the final bid. If he takes the bid someone got a hell of a deal

I know him and have worked on that ht. I don't think he will accept that bid, because I have offered him more than that before for it.

I kinda figured that bid wouldn't fly

He is about an hour from me. We put new israeli tracks, retread bogies, a new exhaust manifold and rebuilt fuel pump and carb on it here at my shop. We also got the quad moving around in circles, elevation linkage is messed up. Quad has to come off to figure out what is going on and we didn't have the extra time when it was here to pull it out of the track and figure it out. Quad's are a pain to work on in the ht.  Lotta fun tho.

Hey, I also wanted to thank all those who didn't bid on this ht. The owner and I are now in discussions on where he is going to buy me lunch to settle our side bet on the outcome of the auction.

Thanks,
Steve
