Just got back a little while ago. It is the one in Saline :) The engine sounds really rough and misses and ticks loudly. Like I said the interior didn't matter to me but lets just say a lot of it is original! Does need new tires, steps, brakes and lots of water damage. There was a bent place on the outside corner, I put my hand inside and it was soaked. The young man was very honest and helpful, he even mentioned going down on the price. But he also mentioned the word carburetor and we would have to get new rims to get new tires.
Soooo, it is not the right buy for us right now. He was understanding and if anyone else is interested he seems honestly willing to discuss the problems. And it is a steel frame.

If anyone needs a hunting TT or something to use close by this would be great.

The good news is that I have a place to go for expert and friendly opinions and we know what size we are looking for too. And my husband is totally into it and not treating it like one of my Lucille Ball ideas. So we are going to keep looking, there is one in Walled Lake that looks good...
LOL! I have a feeling that no matter what we buy it will turn into some kind of money pit but, we have wanted to do this for a long time and I am tired of tents!

Good thing you passed. Engine tuneups are so easy to do, if it's ticking and missing, that engine needs serious attention. My lady friend isn't happy with my B but I'd expect any prospective buyer (she hasn't gotten me to sell it yet) to have a mechanic check it out. I can even suggest a couple that I trust to find flaws.
