yup, definately had the rope tied too to the steering wheel and probable out the windows to the mirror brackets, thats how everyone use to tow them years ago. looks like a late 60's. has the b model style 505 front axle. probably had a 673 and its spent thats why its sittin there. actually looks like a nice project with a little pressure washer work and probably a new bullett and maybe a fuel tank strap, or ratche strap.

yup, front axle is correct, i was just sayin its old cause it has the B model style front axle. think they did away with that around 1970 or so. your right a 609 would have a 711 in it and most likely a 9 speed overgrear. my R609 had a 711 and 10 speed in it originally. on a side note what ever happened to our thread about the oldest B R U L where we all put in out Vin numbers. not that any of us poor bastard probably bought much lately but i think we need that refreshed every once in a while.

Did y'all notice that the rope was out the passenger side window? That is a rare factory anti tip device to be deployed in the event of an emergency.

J/k Vinny , I have a pic of a U for you as well, but no vin number as I was interrogated for taking the pic and it was raining, ect. I'll have Ben post it soon, Tim
