    Steve,
    You collect some cool but strange stuff. I like this one!
    Looks really clean on the inside.

    Runs really good, no smoke, plenty of power. The rear is original 1Ton. 305 SBC, th400. It has the short wheel base, 115 in, requires 8'6" clearance. 5'9" of headroom inside. It was pretty cool to just hop in and drive it home (both doors open).

    This was owned by a guy right down the road when I was in high school, I wanted it bad. It disappeared a few years ago and then resurfaced last year at a vintage car lot. I traded my first car for it... 55 Fairlane Club Sedan. I'm just done with cars!

    Overall length is 17'. This, the LM120, is the shortest wheelbase available. It is well-insulated with spray-on foam. This will be great for hauling earlies! I just pray it grows on my wife, she really likes my other earlies.

    Rip,
    Went back and looked at your pic's again. Somehow it looks longer, 17' is short. That's cool. Also pictured it with new paint, blue in my mind and I can see your attraction to it. Very Happy
