66 Toro.

May go look at this one this weekend. Very little rust and only one hickey
where they may have run over something. Right front fender needs some heel work. New tires and new Holley carb, 68 K. Supposedly runs great and everything works. Less than 3K. Thoughts?

A few more pics. It was sitting on the side of the hi-way about
20 mi. from the house. Had the camera so I thought I should stop and check it out.

The last of them for now. Pretty nice, headliner is nice and not a crack in the dash pad. No ripped seats, may have to go for it...

Does it need any parts besides a Q-jet and air cleaner? If nothing else, and if the engine and trans are strong, It seems like it's worth the asking price. But I'm no expert on Toro values.

That looks too nice NOT to pick up. If I had the room I'd tell you to get it and ship it up!

Did you make the deal Adam? Looks like the one on Hwy 29 west of Burnet but before you get to Park Road 4. It was still there today when we drove by... my better half wouldn't let me stop! I may have to go without her tomorrow....

That's the one Dave. I talked with the guy that owns the building and
has the keys. Trunk area is nice, but the transmission is way over full.
It had a rear brake lock on the fellow who owns it. But the shop owner
is having a heck of a time getting hold of him. The guy had to go on to
Houston a week or so ago for court on his divorce, and hasn't returned any calls.

Adam, there was a brown Toro in that same location over the 4th of July weekend.... never stopped to look at that one either but believe I saw it on a trailer headed east a few days later. Guy must have a line on early Toro's? Give me a shout if you head up this way.

You going to the boat races anytime over the weekend?

Hey Dave, yeah the brown one was his, sold it for 2K I believe.
The boat races are a PITA for me. They block off Pecan Valley and
we have to go around the park to get anywhere. Paula and I were thinking
about going down to the pits this evening if it cools down any. It's 102* right now.
A little A/C a cold beer and Joe Kidd on the tube are what's up for today.
