Dirt can be deceiving. Sometimes what's underneath is surprisingly unaffected. Of course, other times, what's underneath is a rust bucket that someone cannibalized decades ago.
It crossed my mind to get it and have my Dad stash it until we make our next family jaunt back to MN. But he's 82 and no longer takes great joy in such adventures. I pulled that trick last year with a fancy Stewart-Warner cathedral that I got reel cheep on Mpls craigslist. It took 7 months for us to get out there, and the cost to pack & ship that heavy beast back to WA ate a considerable portion of what I saved on the purchase price. I'd still be tempted if it were within driving distance.
