SBP,
Thank you, the red Patrol was reconditioned by a fellow Patrollee named Chris V down in Louisiana. To his credit, he put many dollars and hours in bringing back from the dust but asked nothing more than the next guy keep it original, if possible. The next guy, Byron, tuned it further and when he was to the point of trying to update it for ease of drivability be decided to sell it rather than chop and crop. He sold it for what costs he put into it which included putting a jeep soft top and frame on it which we will have to look at closely.
My plan it to fix everything that needs it (it might need some new hoses, maybe rebuild some pumps etc) then make a decision. I know I need to file for a lost title too. I think it might be better than either of my first two. Then again I my offer it for sale to someone who wants. It will not be hard to unload.
Eddy the Eagle is already shining up his wrenches in anticipation.
Regards,
The guy in Boerne who owns just two Patrols, if asked.
