Epic Project! 1950 Marmon-Herrington Motorhome

Let’s see…. you have a vintage Marmon-Herrington bus lying around – hmm, what to do with it? How about converting it to a motorhome! Here on eBay is a 1950 Marmon-Herrington made into a 28-foot RV, complete with a respectably spacious wet bath, hallway sink, kitchen, a good-sized bedroom, and plenty of storage. The seller is asking $10,000 but he’s closing his business, so offers are welcome. The lucky new owner will be hauling this impressive coach home from Gray Court, South Carolina. Thanks to Driven by Faith Restorations for the tip!

If ever I wished a vehicle could tell its story, I would want this one to have a voice. We don’t know who converted it, or how it was used. We do know it’s mounted on a bus or truck chassis – the seller believes it’s a Mack – and it’s powered by a well-running 6-71 Detroit diesel engine paired with a Clark five-speed manual. The 6-71 is a six-cylinder, good for about 170 hp; the Clark gearbox is as stout as they come. But the condition of the rest of the systems is unknown; a restorer should expect to rebuild virtually everything.

The driver’s “office” contains a couch where the original accordion entry door would have been. That dash layout is interesting, with a few gauges mounted on a horizontal surface. The steering wheel is a throwback to the early days of buses – which was one of Marmon-Herrington’s specialties. The company made heavy duty truck components, particularly 4WD conversions. It eventually began manufacturing military vehicles, snowplows, trolley buses, delivery vans, and diesel-powered buses under its own nameplate. The Chicago Transit Authority purchased 349 Marmon-Herrington trolley buses in 1950, a significant hunk of the entire production.

Here’s that bathroom, currently used for storage but in surprisingly decent condition. For those not familiar with RVs, “wet bath” means you take your shower in the same room with the toilet; a dry bath supplies the user with a separate shower space. The stove sits in the aisle, amidst plenty of storage. A refrigerator is pictured but I’m not sure where it is relative to the stove. The rear bedroom consists of a mattress situated on a wooden platform, with storage underneath. Abundant windows help defeat the claustrophobia that can be a part of RV life.

This view shows the metal panels covering what would have been windows down the sides and the center entry door. I like patina as well as the next enthusiast, but I’d love to see this motorhome restored to as-new condition. Of course, we’re probably talking an “investment” of around $250k, right? What do you think it would take to resurrect this majestic motorhome?

1950 Crosley

Powel Crosley Jr. of Cincinnati, Ohio, was a busy man. He sold countless radios, owned the Cincinnati Reds, and most importantly, sold cars. He sold enough of them that I am never surprised to see one at a car event. The Crosley car’s diminutive size and simplicity, in addition to total production numbers exceeding 80,000, make them practical “fun” collector cars. They don’t take up much space, they have performance that is capable enough for two-lane driving, and they’re inexpensive. Barn Finds reader T.J. found this ’50 CD Four Sedan on Marketplace in Marne, Michigan, with an asking price of $3,500.

The downside is that it doesn’t run (there’s no spark). The engine does spin freely, but considering that the seller has done a fair amount of work on the car and has not gotten it running is a concern. Don’t get me wrong, I could probably flat lift the engine out of a Crosley (well, maybe not) if we find out the worst, but still…that doesn’t mean that I necessarily want to. The seller is throwing in a spare good transmission with the car, so that’s something. Perhaps he has simply lost interest in the project; it’s worth asking if you decide to message him.

The engine itself should be the cast iron CIBA engine, which produced 26.5 horsepower with a displacement of 44 cubic inches. Riding lawn mowers of today produce roughly the same power, but a 1950 Crosley weighed about half a ton, so the power-to-weight ratio isn’t that bad. Anecdotally, Crosleys could achieve up to 50 miles per gallon.

So what work has been done? The seller says that patches were welded into the floors and rockers, and the entire car was rolled with Rustoleum (in an almond color). A while back, rolling on Rustoleum was all the rage on the internet; is it still a thing? I can see the financial rewards of it, but it always seemed time-consuming to me. I’d rather thin it down and spray it on, but I have an air compressor. Regardless of the methodology, it’s a decent choice for a car that isn’t ever going to be worth much, and the seller claims that it’s a good 10-foot job.

The interior isn’t too bad, either. The headliner, door panels, and seats are all there, but you’re looking at a bare floor. Crosleys certainly had a floor covering of some sort, but I wonder how difficult it is to source it.

Crosley was a successful businessman who almost made his small car business work. In the postwar car boom, anybody could sell anything, so people gladly snapped up Crosleys. Unfortunately, when cars became more readily available, most people wanted something a little bigger (a Crosley is about a foot shorter AND narrower than a VW Beetle). Still, it’s a cute collectable that is certain to draw conversation wherever you take it. This one needs a bit of work and little bit of finger-crossing on the engine, but it looks like a clean project.

Never Used 1980s Manco Valvoline Truck Go-Kart

The older I get, the fewer full-sized vehicles I want to own. It’s just more work to keep them insured, maintained, and stored indoors somewhere. And that doesn’t count motorcycles, which are easier to store, but I really like unusual and small vehicles like this 1980s Manco Valvoline “Pick-Up Truck” go-kart. The seller has it posted here on craigslist, northeast of Charlotte, North Carolina, and they’re asking $5,000. Here is the original listing, and thanks to T.J. for the tip!

A lot of us transition from actual full-sized vehicles to something a bit more manageable. It’s fun to buy vehicles, but shipping has gotten to be such a big expense now and I don’t have the luxury to take three or four days off and just hop on a plane somewhere and drive a vehicle back home again, as a recent commenter said. Actually, the quote was, “shipping is for cowards or people with some money and no sense.” Nice. Speaking of no sense, after taking four days off with no pay, plus the cost of a flight 3/4 of the way across the country, and then adding $700 or $800 in expenses (gas, food, tolls, oil, whatever) to drive back home, so much for saving any money by not having a vehicle shipped.

Shipping is a real thing for most of us who think about vehicles in other parts of the country, or even other countries. I don’t mean to turn this great, never-used go-kart post into another shipping rant, but here we are. I was just saying that some of us are turning to go-karts, motorcycles, bicycles, lighted signs, and other vehicle-related collectibles rather than buying full-sized cars and trucks. These things have taken off lately as vehicle prices have gone through the roof for the most part.

Manco offered many small rides like this one. We’ve seen a couple of similar go-karts here but I searched for “Manco” on the Barn Finds search line and didn’t come up with anything so they must not have been Manco go-karts. The company offered many mini bikes and go-karts, and a couple of fiberglass body karts like this one they called a “pick-up truck”, according to a brochure I found on eBay.

A gentleman named Bill Hatlem, an engineering graduate from Purdue University and a Korean War Air Force veteran, founded Manco Products in 1966. They originally started with mini bikes but soon branched out to go-karts. Eventually, the company started making karts for Sears, which is not a bad client to have. The seller of this truck kart says it has never had gas in it. It was bought new and hung on the wall as art, and a photo of that is above.

The engine should be a 3.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton single with a centrifugal clutch. I wish we had some detailed photos but the seller has included some nice overall photos of this basically brand new Manco go-kart. Are any of you into small vehicle-related collectibles such as go-karts, automotive signs, etc?

1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Here’s what has to be a one-of-a-kind. A 1998 Honda Valkyrie motorcycle converted into a 3-wheel tryke that looks like a 1969 Chevy Camaro (from the front). We’d love to know how and why this was done, but – unfortunately – it’s an unfinished project looking for a new benefactor. So, the details of this metamorphosis will require you to contact the seller here on Facebook Marketplace. Located in Acton, California, this interesting mode of transport is being offered at $9,100 OBO (we assume).

The 1969 Chevy Camaro was a popular pony car from the third and last year of the auto’s first generation. Nearly 250,000 copies were built due to a 15-month production run in advance of an all-new Camaro in 1970. It was the best-looking of the trio (IMO), which might be why it was selected for emulation with this tryke. The seller is clear in pointing out this vehicle was never a Camaro, but some of the body parts are.

Registered as a motorcycle, this tryke uses a front end and doors crafted out of fiberglass, so the amount of real Camaro sheet metal is limited. The panels are said to have been new when the project began, though we don’t know when that was. At the heart of the tryke is a Honda Valkyrie from 1998 that has 80,000 miles on it. The carburetors are said to need rebuilding, likely gummed up from sitting. The front suspension is from a Volkswagen and disc brakes are in place.

Ezoic

We know nothing about the interior other than it’s black in color. Wearing grey primer now, the body could be painted and/or decorated anyway you wanted. The seller says he/she has too many projects and this one has been going nowhere. It’s also been up for sale for several months, so just the right buyer hasn’t been found yet for this Camarotryke. Could that be you? Thanks for the crazy tip, MisterLou!

Will This Caddy Ambulance Become a Ghostbusters Clone?

The owner of this derelict Miller-Meteor ambulance on a 1959 Cadillac Series 75 commercial chassis is selling it on eBay in Las Vegas. While the car needs a total restoration, it does come with a lot of new parts. But get out your welding torch.

This Caddy may be a desert car now, but it must have been in the Rust Belt at some point to get so thoroughly eaten by the tin worms. The undercarriage is merely a memory. The interior is shredded, too, and the windshield has a big hole in it. But there’s the fact that it’s “the EXACT model used for the 1984 Ghostbusters ECTO-1, with the correct cutouts above the doors.”

Says the seller, “This car will need a full restoration, [including] floors, engine, transmission, paint, interior. However, included is a NEW-in-the-box windshield. The wheels have been restored, and powder coated with new tires have been installed.” The missing chrome is part of the deal, though it’s unrestored. That’s the good part, but there’s no engine or transmission included in the sale. Now, this is a project. “You may need two transports for the car (being over 20 feet long) and all of the parts that go with it. So be prepared for that.”

Ezoic

Be prepared, that’s the Boy Scout motto, and you’ll need all that clean-living fortitude (plus an open checkbook or serious skills) to get through the restoration of this desperately debilitated vehicle, though full of promise it definitely is. These Miller-Meteor ambulances on the ’59 Caddy are incredible when done.

Barrett-Jackson sold one of these in complete Ghostbusters trim for $297,000 earlier this year, but Classic.com says that sales on the Cadillac commercial chassis are averaging around $62,000.

Ezoic

Maybe it’s inevitable that this once utilitarian vehicle will end up as yet another “movie car.” Personally, I’d prefer it restored to original, but it’s unlikely to attract hordes of gawkers in that guise.

1964 Amphicar 770

I would describe my automotive taste as eclectic, and find myself drawn as much to quirky classics as motoring icons. However, vehicles like the 1964 Amphicar 770 leave me torn. While I can think of few experiences better than slipping behind the wheel of a classic car, boats have always caused me to experience a rising tide of seasickness…even on dry land. The Amphicar is a rare beast, and our feature car presents well following its restoration. It is ready to provide a new owner with a life of adventure, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Driven By Faith Restorations for spotting this gem listed for auction here at Hemmings in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The bidding sits below the reserve at $33,500 with plenty of time remaining for interested parties to stake their claim.

Germany once enjoyed a virtual monopoly in the amphibious car sector, with the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen and the Trippel SG6 both predating the 1961 launch of the Amphicar 770. The Volkswagen remains the most successful of the breed, with over 15,000 emerging from the factory during a three-year production run. The Amphicar remained on sale until 1968, although its build total fell well short of the VW. The seller indicates that our feature car underwent a restoration over ten years ago, and a close inspection will reveal minor chips and imperfections in its Strand White paint. However, it remains presentable, with no significant panel or paint shortcomings. There is no mention or evidence of rust, which is a major consideration in any vehicle of this type. Nothing will “dampen” the Amphicar ownership experience more than driving into a body of water, only for your classic to perform its impression of the Titanic. The seller includes a couple of embedded videos in their listing, showing this beauty in action. It appears to float perfectly, skimming along the still water surprisingly well. The trim is in excellent condition, the top fits nicely, and the glass is clear.

If you were a regular viewer of Top Gear UK, you may remember that the hosts made a couple of attempts at producing amphibious cars. While none of these were particularly successful, I have always found the fact that James May used the same Triumph Herald as the base for both of his attempts interesting. He didn’t utilize the car’s engine to power his creation, but The Quandt Group chose that motor to power its Amphicar. Sources vary on the subject, but the consensus seems to be that the 1,147cc Herald four generates around 43hp and 61 ft/lbs of torque. This feeds to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle, while throwing a lever in the cabin diverts that energy to a pair of rear-mounted propellers once the Amphicar hits the water. The “770” designation signified that the vehicle could hit seven knots on the water, and 70mph on the open road. The Amphicar fell short on both counts, but not by much. The seller indicates that this classic is in excellent mechanical health, with no issues or problems. The engine sounds crisp and clean in the supplied videos, with no smoke or odd noises.

The entry of water into the interior of an amphibious car is almost inevitable, whether via minor leaks or from the spray generated during operation. The Quandt Group recognized this when developing the Amphicar, which is why the floors feature rubber mats, rather than carpet that would retain moisture. There was no cloth seat option, with our feature car trimmed in a typical combination of Red and White vinyl. The overall condition of the interior is consistent with a classic that has been treated respectfully in the decade since its restoration. There is no wear or physical damage on the vinyl, the mat is clean, and the painted surfaces look crisp. Potential buyers shouldn’t search too hard for luxury touches, because an AM radio was one of the few, and wasn’t chosen by this car’s first owner.

Although it is sometimes dismissed by enthusiasts, the 1964 Amphicar 770 remains one of the most adventurous engineering feats in automotive history. Producing a vehicle that performs respectably on the road is relatively straightforward, with the same true of boats. However, combining the two brings a unique set of challenges, which is why the pages of automotive and maritime history books feature few such vehicles. Only 3,878 of these classics rolled off the line, and the sort of lives most led saw many succumb to rust years ago. This one is a gem, and recent successful sales should see the bidding head towards or beyond $60,000 before the hammer falls. If you march to the beat of a different automotive drummer, is the Amphicar a classic that you would find irresistible?

1981 AMC Spirit DL

Plucky old American Motors entered the 1981 model year with only three car models on their books: the Concord, the Eagle, and the Spirit. None of them were big sellers, so you can be forgiven if you had forgotten about the above pictured Spirit. Replacing the Gremlin for 1979, the Spirit even kept a slow-selling “sedan” variant that maintained the Gremlin’s unique profile, but the buying public had apparently tired of its quirkiness. The “liftback” pictured above (in DL trim) was arguably more stylish, sharing its body with the rugged Eagle SX/4, a car with a bit of a cult following today. With original paint and “NO rust,” according to the seller, this offbeat little hatchback is for sale on eBay in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and with a high bid of $3,000, it has not yet met its reserve.

Only two engines were offered in the AMC car lines for 1981, the most powerful being this 258-cubic-inch six with 110 horsepower and a two-barrel carburetor. Since it was 1981, 258 automatics such as our feature car came standard with a 2.53:1 axle ratio, and if you think that’s bad, four speeds had a 2.37! Those leggy ratios allowed the Spirit to achieve respectable fuel mileage ratings (at a 55-mph speed limit, of course): the automatic earned an EPA rating of 19 city/26 highway. Compared to most collector cars, that’s miserly. The advertisement is also stingy with its information, but everything is claimed to work except the heater, and a new core comes with the car. I have no experience replacing the heater core on AMC products, but it’s rarely the kind of job that one looks forward to.

The interior looks completely original (aside from a carpeted dash pad cover), and even the upholstery matches the 1981 brochure. Considering the Southwest’s reputation as an interior-killer, it’s nice to see such a nice presentation, especially for a car with 124,000 miles on it. With a floor-shifted automatic, air conditioning, bucket seats, and console, the original owner must have wanted the spiffiest Spirit they could find.

I like quirky period-correct cars like this AMC Spirit. The color is perfect (although not very creatively named: Medium Blue Metallic), the stripes are perfect, the wheels are perfect. Aside from the heater core’s clocking out from duty, eBay mentions that there is a “minor [title] issue.” It may be worth a message to the seller if you’re interested in bidding on this fun little hatchback from the waning days of Kenosha’s independent. Only 44,599 Spirits were sold in 1981, and most of them are long gone, so if you long for an inexpensive collector car with some practicality built in, this one might be a winner.

Laser 917 Kit Car

Kit cars are a curious thing. Even years after their relevance has faded away, you still find them for sale and plenty of people who seemingly want to scoop them up. Kit cars were a definite force to be reckoned with on the marketplace in the 70s and 80s, offering mere mortals a way to own a supercar without having access to supercar funds. The Laser 917 kit was clearly an attempt to resemble the iconic Porsche 917 racer in miniature, and while it did an admirable job, most owners still relied on a VW Beetle powerplant for propulsion. Find this Laser kit car here on eBay with a suggested opening bid of $7,500.

I will give the Laser kit creators somc credit for not skimping on the details like other kit car manufacturers did. The proportions were decent, at least giving the car some sporting pretensions, and when painted in Gulf livery with a decent set of wheels and an engine that was more powerful than a basic spec 1600, these were among the better looking tribute cars. The one used in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo actually looked like a legit race car, even if its scenes of blistering acceleration were heavily sped up. The plexiglass headlights, deep dish wheels, and gullwing doors all added a dose of exotica to a car with very humble underpinnings.

The interior wasn’t bad, either, as it at least attempted to make it seem like it wasn’t completely ripped off of a Beetle. You didn’t have to stare at an interior from a Bug; instead, the Laser got its own cockpit which, admittedly, looks incredibly cramped. The seller notes that he finds it incredible someone can actually drive this car, considering the steering wheel placement and where your arms and legs end up based on the seat location. The Laser was meant to be assembled at home, so perhaps the doctor who owned this car previously (the seller has listed the Laser on behalf of his estate) didn’t quite read the instructions carefully.

Here’s a problem: where do you find replacement glass for the driver’s side gullwing door? Sadly, the company known as Elite Enterprises, which built the Laser, is no more. Founder Gary Knapp died not long after its big screen debut alongside Herbie, and while others attempted to keep the company alive, it ultimately dissolved in the early 90s. Just under 700 Lasers were made, which is a decent run by kit car standards. The asking price on this car seems ambitious, but perhaps its just an effort to entice someone who wants it badly enough for $5,000 as-is. What would you pay for this long-dormant kit car?

1,440 Miles From New! 2000 Thor/Four Winds Infinity 34H Motorhome

Motorhomes are often bought as a treat for retirement or an alternative to buying a vacation home. After all, with a comfortable motorhome at your disposal, why stay tied to one location as opposed to going wherever you find fair weather and good food? The only hiccup is, I imagine, is after a few months spent owning an RV, do you suddenly realize you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, both in terms of storing something this large as well as managing the driving of a behemoth down the road. Perhaps that’s the reason why this 2000 Four Winds/2000 Infinity 34H listed here on eBay has recorded just 1,440 original miles.

Thanks to Barn Finds reader Dave Parker for the find. This is a find I’m surprised we don’t see more often, as you see RVs sitting idle in driveways in practically every community. Of course, they are usually in fairly poor condition, reflecting the fact that many of these vehicles are purchased by second or third owners who fancy the idea of a home on wheels but not necessarily the upkeep that comes with them. Despite utilizing commonly-found engines and other mechanical components, along with cosmetic details like headlights and interior fixtures, everything is larger and heavier on a motorhome – and the longer an RV sits, the more likely it is those components won’t work the next time you fire it up. Basic consumables like tires and propane will sink a cheap purchase in a hurry, too.

The listing notes that this Thor/Infinity 34H has been carefully stored indoors, unlike those pieces of driveway art I mentioned. It seems likely that the RV was stored at a facility dedicated to housing these recreational rigs, which suggests that the RV was costing a previous owner storage fees every month. In the meantime, it was sitting unused, ensuring those couch cushions, carpeting, wood paneling, blinds, and countertops were all staying in mint condition. No gross food stains or long-festering water leaks; no need to rip out the carpeting and replaced waterlogged wood.

The driver’s compartment shows nearly unmarked leather seating surfaces along with a steering wheel with virtually no wear and perfect wood trim around the instrument cluster. It seems like this model was predominantly Ford-powered, but sadly, the seller provides no information on the powerplant. I’ve seen references to the 6.8L gas engine being a go-to, as well as the 8.1L V8 Vortec mill from Chevy. Regardless, the engine itself will have barely been broken in at this point, and for the asking price, it seems like a far cheaper entry into RV ownership than the six-figure price tags most new models seem to command.

1976 Stutz Blackhawk

Who remembers the Stutz Blackhawk, one of those “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” cars from the 1970s? Built in Italy, the styling of these opulent automobiles was over the top, which was the intended result. They were low-production vehicles, whose hand assembly often took weeks to complete. This beautiful example, which apparently is kept inside the house, is said to have once been owned by an NBC bigwig, but he died five years before it was built (Google him). Located in Liberty, North Carolina, this rare machine is available here on eBay for $68,000 OBO. And is a tip brought to us by “Driven by Faith Restorations.”

The Stutz Motor Co. was resurrected in 1968 and the Blackhawk made it to the market three years later. Chassis and drivetrains were sourced from General Motors (specifically the Pontiac Grand Prix before the 1978 downsizing). Former Chrysler designer Virgil Exner cooked up the bodacious styling, including a shell-type fake radiator and a spare tire mounted through the trunk lid, reminiscent of some of his early 1960s work. It probably killed most of the storage capacity.

These were bulky cars (5,000+ pounds), thanks to some really heavy bodies that stretched out nearly 20 feet. Under the hood was a 455 cubic inch V8 tricked out to produce 425 horses, paired with a TH-400 automatic transmission. The cars weren’t slugs in terms of performance, but you would seldom see more than 10 mpg on fuel.

Only about 200 Blackhawks were produced from 1971 to 1976, rising to 350 in 1980. By the time Stutz threw in the towel in 1987, not more than 600 ever saw the light of day. This two-tone example is said to have seen just 24,000 miles, but it was waylaid by an interior fire many years ago. Everything that was damaged was replaced, including the white carpeting (why would you put these in ANY automobile?). We’re told that $13,000 alone was spent on redoing the exterior chrome. If you have a spare $68k lying around, do you also have room in your dining room for this classic?

1962 AMC Metropolitan Hardtop

As a former owner of a 1957 Metropolitan Hardtop, I’ll always have a sentimental soft spot for these historic little cars. (More about the history part later.) If I heard it once, I heard it a hundred times when I drove it (usually from women), “Oh, what a cute car!” Not surprising, since the Met was the first U.S. car marketed primarily to women as a family’s second “shopping or city commuter/puddle jumping car.” Women are featured throughout the Metropolitan sales brochures (usually dressed up and wearing gloves since the Met was marketed as “Luxury in Miniature) and their first spokesperson when the car was introduced in 1954 was none other than Miss America 1954, Evelyn Ay Sempier.

Here’s a cute little Autumn Yellow and Frost White 1962 AMC Metropolitan that’s been owned by a Florida lady for the past 4-5 years. Her daughter has listed it for sale and says, “although Mom drives it once a week, it’s time for it to find a new home where it will continue to be loved.” There’s no history of the car shared and photographs are limited, but it looks like a solid Met with lots of personality (the hood is covered in a 60’s-era flower design – possibly a vinyl wrap – and the front plate identifies the Met as being named “Bubbles.”) It also represents the last model year of the Metropolitan as production across the pond in England ceased in April 1961 and existing inventory was sold through March of 1962.

Overall, the two-tone paint looks good as does the chrome, glass, trim, and lenses. The last iteration of Mets (starting in 1959) featured the addition of an external trunk lid (my ’57 only allowed access to the trunk through the rear “bench” seat back – a most impractical design), a one-piece wraparound rear window, and vent windows. The Met’s “Continental Kit” spare tire is located on the rear with a white vinyl tire cover that compliments the yellow and white color scheme nicely. The only thing to make this Met more visually appealing would be a set of period-correct whitewall tires.

Inside, the Met’s black and white interior looks the same as my Mardi Gras Red and Frost White ’57: an appealing mix of houndstooth fabric and white vinyl seats, and black and white door panels with a black metal dash. With its rounded hardtop, you have more headroom than you might think in a Metropolitan. I’m six-foot-one and had plenty of headroom in my Met.

There are no photos of the engine, but there should be a 55-horsepower British Motor Corp. Austin 4-cylinder engine that’s known for being both rugged and thrifty on gas. The seller says the car “Runs great!,” there’s about 57,000 on the odometer, and it’s mated to a 3-speed Synchromesh transmission. Getting back to the Met making history, it was the first subcompact car (even though that category didn’t exist at the time) from a major American automaker and the first American-designed car marketed in the U.S. that was built entirely in England. “Bubbles” is currently located in Sarasota, Florida and is for sale here on Facebook Marketplace for an asking price of $14,000. A special thanks to Bruce M. for spotting this little Metropolitan and sending it our way.
