New fella,,,

[Charles Todd]

Hey y'all. My names Cj. I'm a younger guy (18) who loves all things old, especially in the power sports industry. I'm a huge fan of airfoolers so when my uncle offered to trade me this old Penton (as soon as he said Penton he had me...) for one of my 5.5hp Briggs motors you better believe I didn't stop grinning for DAYS!!

But, the ole gal is R. O. U. G. H.  Sometime in the early-mid 90's someone pulled the top end off and since Louisiana aint exactly the DRIEST state the bottom end filled with water and stayed that way long enough to trash the center cases (ate a hole plum through). The shocks are rusted to hell an back, there bolts and nuts breaking off everywhere, I'm SCARED to even try moving the swinger bolt. I mean do y'all get the picture I'm painting here? It's not real pretty. From my best estimation it's gunna cost me about $2000 before shocks. I'm gunna try and find some modern shocks (by modern I mean 80's Fox or something) until I can get the original Marz (can't spell the name,,,) repaired (the shafts are destroyed. Rusted way beyond saving). Ill get some pictures uploaded here sometime. I gotta get on the computer to do that. So, that's about all I can think to say right now.... There's some cases on eBay I've been watching but my old school ATC90 racer build is sapping my money up right now so hopefully they don't sell before I got the $$$.....

Nice to meet y'all!!
