Reply to "UPDATED 11-20-2019 Rescuing a Fairmont "speeder" from the bushes!"

I used to have an SP MT-14; bought it at the Sacramento Shops auction; got it home, cleaned the carb and fresh gas and it ran (the battery was even still good!) No top, but I did get the deluxe seats. Took it on one run, and decided it HAD to have a top! It also came with a tool can FULL of old torpedoes--which the fire department had the bomb squad take away! (I stopped in there to ask how I should dispose of them). Had a lot of fun with it for a few years, (rode the entire McCloud river railroad on it; track that is now long gone). But the hobby got more expensive (insurance and run fees) and our lives got busy, so we sold it (rats!); although I still have an M-19 (ex WP) very plain Jane car, not even a windshield, and a Fairmont supplies trailer. However made one big mistake: sold the hauling trailer with the MT-14!!
