Looking through old pics. Forgot about this. Might call me a redneck a bit.

A friend of mine had this camper in his yard.. well more than a friend, he was my best man. He grew up in Chicago, I grew up in central Wisconsin. he's a Bears fan, I'm a Packers fan. Worked together for 10 years. I moved away years ago, finally made to his house for a Pack-Bears game in 2011.. he had this in his front yard, been sitting there a year. His father in law died, and left this. I asked him why he kept it.. "for you!". My brother hauled it on a trailer home (an hour away). I wanted it for parts for my '76 Dodge Cruisemaster. The wife, kid, and brothers never thought I'd get it running. Engine was tight.. soaked it for a month with trans fluid in the cylinders, got it loose. Fired it up with gas from a beer can. Just wanted to see if the engine/trans/rear were good before I parted it. Kid wanted a ride...he sat on a milk crate, with a kiddie seat on top, and seat belt. Bungee corded gas can. Before anyone says "That's so dangerous!", the can had maybe a quarter of a gallon, and all we did was go around the block. I did smoke the duallie's for him a bit :) He had a blast!
I have that 360/727 with 36,000 original miles in my garage yet. Might go in the Cuda some day.

I thought you where going to say I did make a car hauler out of it, that is a nice ride, I also trashed a lot of cool stuff back in the day that I wish I still had.
