My only addition would be an old shrunken head dangling from the mirror! Saw it listed and had to look away. I can think of plenty "excuses" to take a spin.

Hey, Ryan. If you are looking for an F-1, an old Gear Grinder, Clarence Oliver from Boerne, has a '51-52 F-1 with 302 HO for power that some guys from Martin Bros. on Hwy 290 drove the other day but didn't buy. I saw it on the History channel so it HAS to be the truth !
