Hi stan,

This one doesn't run, but i'm not sure why, it is nice enough that i'm
sure I could double my price if i made it run, i just wanted to move it &
save the work, lots of extra parts etc. included (how many westys come
with 2 engines, 2 good sets of heaterboxes, etc.)

so, thats how i came up with what i am/was asking, its rust free & more
than complete, but doesnt run, & has a few dents...

so i figured 1/2 off of what i thought i could get for it in running well
shape apparently from the responses i did guess okay just have bad timing
:)

take care,

Steve
