Now that is an interesting ride. Ugly, but interesting.
Seems like a high number for it; a few years ago you could pick up Unimogs and Pinz's for around 10k, at least around here.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

Already at a pretty big bid, lots of comments about headroom with the replacement seats and such.
And, Nitrous.

Since it is not currently hooked to the engine...
I hear the preferred method for recreational ingestion is to use a sturdy balloon. That way, if a slightly larger dose than desired is delivered, the grip on the balloon relaxes, and the remaining gas vents as the balloon flight entertains your friends.
( I worked backstage on a large number of rock shows, including - but not limited to - Grateful Dead.)

Very nice. I like how the rear seat kind of wraps around, and I love the work light in the engine compartment!

I'm surprised by some of these high bid cars that appear perfect from the top, and then underneath they're grimy, unrestored, with surface rust and grease. Or is that part of the "unrestored / original / patina / survivor" schtick? If so, then why only the bottom, hm?
