Working out nearly final details on a change of employment today that will involve a move 2000 miles away to the Bay Area and I am having a hard time containing my excitement!
That’s why I’m telling Oppo! None of you folks know anyone where I work so I can shout it at the rooftops here!
Also shit man - I need to sell a lot of things... Does anyone want a 50 year old Motorcycle, 30 year old Japanese pickup or 40 year old Scout II? Oppo discounts apply.
Things aren’t set in stone but like 99% at this point with a start date of October 12th!
Edited to add pics of vehicles on the chopping block as multiple folks requested. They’re all either worse than something I could buy on the west coast or missing emissions equipment making it likely they’ll never pass out there.
1979 Scout II Traveler: 345 V8, Auto, 4x4
Better shape than most unrestored Scouts but has bad rust in rockers and needs help to be a driver. It runs and moves, but that’s about it now without more work than I want to put into it.
1990 Mazda B2600i: 5 Speed, 4x4
Decent shape knockaround pickup. Done a major tune up to it and it runs pretty well but it’s 30 years old with something like 220k miles so it’s a beater truck. Rust, but has a few years life left in it before she needs to be retired.
1971 Honda CB500 Four
This is a tough one to decide to sell but I think I’m there. I’ve written about it a few times and love this bike, but I have a new bike and it isn’t practical to move across the country. She runs and drives but still needs work. I just did a bunch of electric repairs and rebuilt the carbs but it’s 50 years old so there are things that need more love and more will break.
If anyone is serious about these let me know either in the comments or at wonkothesanest@gmail.com. Oh I’m about a half hour south of St Louis.
