So Much For Waiting...
I'm travelling for work this week, and to keep myself out of trouble (or so I thought) I was sitting in the hotel looking over Craigslist last night. As luck would have it, I came across what I think is going to turn out to be an amazing deal.

The guy told me that it was given to him about a year ago, and that it sat outside for about 25 years before that. He's asking $100 because he bought a gasket set and a shop manual for it, and just wants to get that money back out of it. The fact that it comes with a whole extra engine and a set of carbs is a huge bonus. Even if I just clean it up, put it back together enough to be a roller, and try to sell it again, I'm sure I can at least double my money. I'm flying back to Phoenix on Wednesday, and I'm taking the rest of the day off to go pick it up and at least start looking at what I've gotten myself into. I'll keep you guys posted.
