    the mower had a full tank of gas,so we siphoned most of it out,
    made the trade. Built a show car.
    How do you like it?

    I remember the first riding lawnmower I had... it'd mow the grass and everything. Those suckers are really rare now, my dad's cousin's friend's gay uncle's nephew had one that he drug behind his Pinto to smooth out the yard where the lawn used to be. Dang thing used to track to the left like nobodies business...

    I miss those days
     
  16. It looks like junk with the doors missing.....BUT it does resemble the '48 Subaru which as everyone knows is the Old English 800 of classic 'Murican cars and worth more than Paul McCartney's bank account!
    The only way to know for sure is the check the VIN plate which should be somewhere on the underside of the decklid.
    James Dean drove a '49 Subaru in American Grafitti which looks similar but with a much longer cowl.

    That thing is ugly, I would have mad it into a RAT ROD! Way cheaper and SOOOOO much cooler! The guyz at the local Auto Zone would LOVE it! And think you could have made it out of trash cans, broken bicycles, and plastic ratz! You should re-newstalgiafy it with some skullz and mexican blanket headliner and wheel well liner!

    Got a better pic of the seat...??? I need it for my patio. I've got the swing set to make a swing type glider...

    I'd trade two shovels, a rake and a hand hoe for the seat...
