Is now in my garage. 1979 P200E, 3875 miles. Yes, 200 meters from my house in the neighbors barn. I officially picked it up last week and pushed it home. I think it will run with just a little bit of work. Planned non-op, title is already here. I will start on it this summer. Stay tuned.

My imagination, or were an inordinate number of 79 P200's silver?

Nice score by the way. Love the windscreen.

Damn, P200s are falling out of the sky. But not around here, of course. Crying or Very sad emoticon

Truth, and they all come with an extra crumbly green wire.

Great score.

And usually with the peeling silver paint too. It's gotten so that I see a nice looking silver one, I figure it's been repainted.

Yep. My silver P is like a middle aged man, but instead of slowly losing it's hair, it loses a few flakes of the silver daily. Needs some rogaine.

It was exceptionally dusty. I only gave it a quick rinse. Paint seems ok, just a bit dull. Some scuffs and a couple scratches. No dents, nothing broken, never been down afaict. Yes, the petcock is frozen.

It really does seem to be raining P200's. You definitely take the "closest to the home" prize, too.

Yeah, the area is heavy with 'original' owners who are now exiting one way or the other. On the other side of me the gentleman passed and he has a large outside collection of vehicles and another big barn. Hi wife has invited me to come look...
