Car wash find
Jason and I just added another 72 402 BB to our fleet. This is a C-30 Custom Deluxe car hauler that has 64000 miles on it. The original owner went to sleep while driving it and ran over a culvert and messed up the rear end. An old man bought it in 1979 with 60000 miles and put 4000 miles on it in the next 13yrs then passed away. It was left in an open bay at his sons car wash and has not been moved in the last 18 yrs. The son wanted to show me how good the engine was so he filled the carb with Sea Foam (never heard of it but I am a believer now) let it sit for 48 hrs poured another can in the gas tank with new gas put on a new battery and fired it up. No smoke rattles or knocks, purrs like a kitten and idles great. All the cool original stuff...spark plug shields, distributor, starter, water pump, hose clamps etc are still there. The truck was a factory white with dark olive int but the second owner (old man) put a cheap black paint job on it and hurt the truck. I would give anything if it still had original white. I am sure Joesjunk would agree. Do not know what we are going to do with it...Have to many projects now. Jason was nearly upset when I found it because I am always bringing a new "puppy" home. Ha... we will keep you informed. Paul
