    I had one of those - except with a 5 speed. Best I recall, it was a '67 model.

    Transam pete- Secondi Bros.- Milford Ct. on 95- right next to the Mayflower Diner. You're right, it was a pit. When Gulf was in the truck stop business, I used to like those- (Ashland Truck Terminal, Ashland VA and there used to be one in Eastern PA on 22 right by the Water Gap. Always clean. And who could forget the Rt. 46 Diner at the end of the Jersey Turnpike (no express lanes to the GWB then.) Great place to stop before chugging up the Fort Lee Hill.
    And Cat sdp: I graduated from the U Model to a White Road Boss- White's answer to the Maxidyne. R model rode much smoother than the U Model.
