Well I sold the 72 burb today. I haven't driven it in two years and it needed someone who will carry on with it.
I sold it one of the mechanics that I work with. I gave him and his wife the site address and hopfully they will join up.

Gotta be tough parting with it even if you didn't use it much. That looks like a really nice Burb! At least you know it's going to a good home.

They were made by Modern Wheel and are no longer made. Size was 16x8.

I have had it since 2000. It is a shame to let it go but it was just going to waste in my shop. Here are a couple more pictures for you.

You might have sold the sub but I see the other two 71 and 68 so I take it your just off of the sub board is that rite...My sub is the same color but it only looks good from about fifty feet or so man your sub was perfect I wish it was mine but I probably couldnt afford it if I had the chance....nice pics....

Welcome to the former owner club.At least you have pictures.I`d still like another some day.It`s good to know it went to someone who can take care of it.I sold my blue & white K/20 Highlander to a friend and mechanic.we help each other out.I`d have first shot at it whenever he might sell it,too.It`s funny,I keep giving him parts for it.I`ve even bought parts to give him.
I guess you figure you can take better care of what you kept by selling that sweet machine.

Sorry to hear the burb is leaving, but it sounds like it is going to a good home, and one that you can check up on it in the future.
