<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a 2001 also that is water cooled.
Much less primitive (heat, radio, sun roof, hard doors, etc) but isn't as fun to
drive as the early Cushman. What is doomish about the old ones? I
have never had a problem and have owned a number of them.</FONT></DIV>

class=gmail_quote>So I checked out a 1971 Cushman Truckster yesterday in
Oakley (see<BR>attached photo - my apologies if it's too big, I just dragged
it from<BR>facebook). It has an original camper shell, 3-on-the-tree
shifting,<BR>air-cooled. It'll need a serious sanding & painting,
a little<BR>fiberglass patching in front, but a solid body. It turns
but wouldn't<BR>stay running. The guy swears it was running a month
ago, but admits<BR>it'd been sitting for two years prior. I told him
to call me if he<BR>can get it started. He's asking $1,200. The engine
was pretty grimy.<BR><BR>So, beloved gearheads among you, what should I do?
Is it worth buying<BR>just for the body? If so, what should I
pay, and how easy/expensive<BR>is a new engine/rebuild? Is it worth
it? Assuming he does get it<BR>started, what should I pay? So
many questions, so little cushman.<BR>Thanks!!<BR><BR>Best,
Nic<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Silly Little
