Does it run? Look at the "before you ask" thread over on the g838 forum. Good info for start up.

Looks to have good potential.

I want better pictures of that fuel pump. It appears to have most of the original parts for a very early straight 151.

+1 on the better pics, looks like you scored, flat top air cleaner, early shovel mount, holley carb?, correct screw adj. seat, correct park brake, does it have 2 vents on cowl? what does the windshield rest mount look like? oval floor drains? rear a arm bumpers? keep the pics coming. Hambone

He even got the rare hole in the battery box!

And you missed the single horn hood latches. And it looks like the gas tank is rust free!!!

I did see them but you are always a step ahead

, I am absorbing a little of the knowledge you have shared over the years.

I only saw a vent on the passenger side. I believe the floor drains are oval. I will check when I can and look at the rear A arm bumpers as well. Thanks.

this thing was tagged 9 years ago and has duct tape residue on it from when the guy pulled it into the barn and put a tarp over it.

Unless the aluminum tag proves otherwise, I'm going with Rick that it's a matching number body and dash tag making it a 1962 straight M151. Elasser on G838 did a beautiful looking restoration of a '62. His is 2D1487.

Look on top of your windshield, the part that it rests on when folded down, are they rubber or 2 metal pieces covered with cloth, hard to find the early ones with all the complete original parts, good score.
