bowtiebutler956 650 #9 Posted March 21, 2014 Very nice find!! I would love to own an 8000, but they are very difficult to find. I look forward to seeing you get it fixed up. Here is a pic of the 3000 I gave to my son. Thanks Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 479 #11 Posted March 24, 2014 Mike, Nice score! The 8000 in my opinion is the best looking of them all. I have one of each as well. Here's a few pics of my long term, million dollar 8000 resto. Hope to finish it up this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
