Early 1960's Howard Johnson's Bar 
The back story is its been in the lady's basement I brought it from off Craigslist for over 50 years. Her father got it out of a HoJo's that was being remodeling in the early 60's and they were throwing this away. He installed it in his basement of his house for the kids to play with and it's been there ever since. He passed a while ago and she inherited the house. She's selling the house now because it's too much upkeep and wanted this gone. Yesterday was first time it's seen daylight in over 50 years! It also came with 8 swivel chairs (5 pictured above) that her father attached wooden bases too because originally they were bolted into the floor.
Howard Johnson's Bar and 8 swivels chairs: $180 |
*WANT!**

| I got a 2001 Eurovan GLS with title for free! Went to see it and it was nice! A few paint blemishes with rust spots but no rot holes. Wasn't running, was told it needed a fuel pump, thought, yeah right, engines probably junk, took it home. Put in a fuel pump and a muffler for 250 and started right up and runs great and tranny seems fine! In process of changing interior to a MV with bed/ table curtains etc. |

awesome!! I remember a old friend back about 30 years ago that had a tt500, it had been 10 years since I had ridden but it only took 2min befor I was on one wheel at 60 mph down the highway for quite a while. what a balance those have. I think my yz would leave some marks somewhere....in more ways than one if I did that.  especially nowdays. |

I gave $500 for this beaut. It didn't have a title, but after getting that all sorted out it's a sweet little driver. 1972 Saab 99E fuel injected and everything.

Huge fan of early Saabs. Right on! |

That's a score.
