If the 4th one means you're crazy....

WAIT! ... I object, you're Honor. I only own HALF of this one, that makes me only mostly crazy. (In the interest of protecting the innocent, I will refrain from naming the other party who went halfsies with me on this one)

But it was necessary.... I get the body (tub, floor, fenders, doors, firewall) and all the misc parts. My partner (Ok, it's Web in Mississippi :twisted: ) gets the soft top frame and related parts, and a few other specific pieces. What's left of the chassis after that will go wherever it's needed.

This body is going to save me at least 300 hours in rust repair and bodywork on my 62 - This body is in amazing condition. (Woo HOO! no welding any more sheet metal patches... :clap: )

Interesting- Even though it was sold in 1963, this one has the earliest yet discovered serial number of any US market Patrol ... It's number 1 in the US registry now

OK,more info on this Web person? Is he in the Belhaven community of Jackson? I pointed a guy this way some time back when he was looking for parts, but have never met him. Curious if this is the same person?

It was so close to you, you probably didn't even have to hit a highway to get/drag it home. ;)

Yup, that is the earliest known ID number. Very cool. 8-)

Web (Dorian) lives down near the coast in Hattiesburg... He and I have been trading parts for about a year now.

It was nice not having to make a 12-hour round trip to either California, or El Paso Texas... :D
