Shed find!
On Feb 17th, 2008 I got to see it again for the first time in almost 22 years.
This is in the storage unit where it had been hidden away; a proverbial "shed find".
The car cover has seen better days, but it kept alot of dust and dirt off the truck.
Like a mechanical Rip Van Winkel, it emerges from a 20-year nap.
Outside for the first time in almost 20 years. The layer of dust on the car is a good indication of how long it's been sitting.
Clear skies but very windy and miserably cold. We picked it up in Dauphin and hauled it about 150 kms back to our home in Neepawa. There were a few periods of complete white-out conditions from snow blowing across the highway. These pics were during one of the calmer sections.
White-knuckle driving while hauling your new toy home is always good for your blood pressure, right?

It was last registered in 1988.
We've finally got it parked in our little garage.
The front bumper came with it and just needs to be re-installed.
