shop to do restoration on 145 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be bumpo on  Wed Feb 26 12:17 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Pre-1973 140s are excellent vehicles. Please add me to the list.

Just as another brickboarder wrote, they are a great mix of classic cool and modern safety. I got my '72 145 to handle like a dream, and it's dead reliable.

140's are sooo cheap to operate and not too expensive to restore/fix if you have a few parts cars kicking around. Killer parts interchange - even with other models.

I, too, really like the short-nosed look of the pre-'73 140 over the 240.

Anyway, I dig them.

Build it and love it.

Good luck.
