Took the 70 W200 out for a ride on Saturday

One of the nicest W200s I've seen.

Thanks John!
I wish I used it more. Since I sold my house a few years ago, I've had the truck in a storage unit. It's harder to jump in a take a ride when its not in your own garage. It is a highly optioned one owner survivor truck; runs and drives like new.

very nice truck...seems that I read about it in PWA years ago.

When I first got the truck, Gordon Maney had me write a little blurb about buying it for the PWA. Long story short.....it was purchased new by a navy aircraft mechanic. He maintained the truck to very high standards throughout his ownership. He became sick in 1986 and the truck was used very infrequently from 1986 until I talked him out of it in 2009. He still maintained it and started it every month. I flew to Ohio....jumped in the truck and drove it straight home to Florida without a hiccup. Its been a great truck.

It's nice but it sounds like it's a two owner truck.

Obviously; from my story, it is now.
My initial "one owner" comment was used to refer to the fact that it was unmolested by multiple owners as the vast majority of 44 year old vehicles are. I AM the second owner.
