It will be 1350 shipping. I had additional 150 towing and storage too so, actual cost was 1500.

Really nice to have your Grandfather's notes. Can you figure what miles per gallon he was getting?

Now that's a good wife! Glad to see you got it home without having to hop it. She's a looker! I can't wait to see how it goes!
