Its a good Body, some damage from rough handling with a Fork Lift, but not NOS. Most likely a Depot repaired MUTT, as its all primer under the Body and Frame. A NOS Body wouldn't have all the Mods done to it, as well as a Cam paint job. It also had a Data Plate on it. Sadly, I have neither the money nor space for all of that stuff. Tragic to see it all rusting away in a field, while I welded my "two piece" back together. Frankly, these days, I doubt anyone could afford to drop 5 figures on what really amounts to alot of spare parts. Seller would not budge on selling off even enough to build one with the good Tub. He was pretty clear to me face to face that he did not have all the parts needed to finish one. I may seem a tad emotional about this. Truth is, I am. I'm not trying to steer anyone away, in fact i'd love to see them saved. But it would be wrong of me to not advise my peers of the details as I know them.

hi guys.could i ever kick myself.i could have purchased all that mutt parts years ago.john that owned them was afreind of my fathers.told me numerous times to come down and buy them.for years he bought surplus militaria.towards the end he went a little different after his wife left him.i talked over the phone with him and he would have sold them reasonably.i know somebody in the ottawa area got one mutt from him.eric booth asked me numerous times to go and i just kept putting it off.cant believe what the guy is asking for them now.i dont think they went for big dollars at the sale.regards jim.

I finally found the data plate for my A1. I couldn't make out the number on the frame. The delivery date is....1-71..... and the serial number is.....99863.
Thanks Barry
