Greyhound on ebay
dgrev
Has anyone seen the over-the-top Greyhound that is for
sale on ebay US at the moment?
Lots of wrong markings, wrong locations for accessories
etc, eg.
Jerrycan bracket mounted externally on turret and painted
bright red.
Vietnam era decontaminator mounted on left rear pannier.
But what really takes the cake, is the storage of main
gun rounds EXTERNALLY on the turret!

Just fine up here, I'm still kicking and occasionally purchasing an
MV. I must thin the herd by about 100,000 lbs though.
It would be nice if they would declare "open season" on those "Occupy
Seattle" folks. It might provide a little levity in the face of the
impending dismal Seattle winter. A warm barrel provides such a nice
natural warmth in ones hands ;^)

I both agree and disagree a bit. If you have a good solid engine in
place and rebuilding isn't impossible or highly cost prohibitive, keep
with what you've got and do the best rebuild you can afford. If you
simply MUST have more power, then replace it but make the new engine
as tidy as possible, while making sure you have the original on hand,
in storage, for future rebuild and return to stock. The only time I
disagree is when converting to Diesel, but I still like the idea of
keep ALL the original running gear, preferably rebuilt, available for
eventual re-marriage to the vehicle by future owners.

I suspect lighting worked out well in his favor although it did betray
him a bit. The "beautiful" restoration was done without any regard to
the rarity of the vehicle. I just hate it when people just cut things
up when it would be so easy to leave it well enough alone. Because it
is a genuine 1944 produced vehicle, the original lighting would be all
that's required by law. A creative person might use newer style
lamps, while retaining the others in storage, and use existing bolt
holes and wiring chases. NAW, that's too easy, just get out your
cordless drill and start punching holes in the exposed body . . .
