Since Ol Crusty is finally here I thought I would start a thread on the Bumble Bee 4742915208.

Short story, I found it by mistake, it was listed on craigslist in Little Rock AR as a 72 914. It was in a junk yard there. I posted a thread about it, you can read that HERE.

Donald Russell aka hot_shoe914 was able get it checked out then purchased and brought it to his home in Memphis. After a few PM's & phone calls I bought it from him. This past weekend I made the 5 state 1200 mile round trip and brought it home to Portage Indiana. My plan is to bring it back to life, it may be a year before I can get started, but it will live again.
