They are definitely uplifting to own. Plus it's key to making it all purdy,

Hot tips: 

1. Don't try and pressure wash your underwear before a date.

2. Please remove underwear before pressure washing them 

3. I know a good Urologist if you have ignored tip #2.....

On the other hand you wash your underwear before going on a date so.

 

 

Yeah, but then you certainly DON'T show her a picture of you doing it,

'just to prove you did'...

 

... so I'm in the 'don't use that pic' camp.

 

One of the neater things about the center post lifts is that they

could rotate freely- you could turn a 10 ton truck around with one hand.

 

and holy hell, they weren't good at keeping the dirt they were buried in clean.

I'm not sure that the pressure washing shot was the best option for the ad, but the original ad was pretty light on photographic documentation.  Owner claims original Sahara paint, and if true, looks spectacular for a 1973.  It is even sporting its original Solex 2 barrel carb.  Pressure washing did a nice job of cleaning up the transmission tunnel before removing the driveshaft.

I see it has a "rebuilt gas tank" wonder what that means?  Repaired? probably. Overhauled? unlikely. Rebuilt? no way.

Unlike my tank pictured above which was sandblasted, cleaned, and seal coated on the inside then painted black. 

It likely means someone spent a couple hours wire brushing the rust on the outside and then $5 on a rattle can of black paint.  

 

Lying through omission is the currency of choice with used car salesmen.

Pressure washing can be convenient, but also rude, depending on where the oily muck all winds up. 

 

I don't want it in my yard.  

 

Clean is nice, but I don't like it when the entire underside is then painted black.
