yes it is - 1968 or 69.. though I thought he said 68

 

[ScampMike]

pretty rare at this point I would think - they weren't well accepted back then..

Plus the gas powered ones usually are hard to start after a year or so... I use electric...

Just ran mine this morning for the first time this year.
Yeh, took about ten tries to start, but damn does it chew up some weeds once its going!

I really did come close to going with the gas powered unit - but in talking to the sales guy (who actually knew his stuff) I realized it was overkill for my needs

 

[ScampMike]

I was impressed with the one I got - it knocked down some stout weeds...

It's a '68. You can tell by the bolts around the edges of the grille. 375 hp / 510 lb-ft Tq Rocket 455 engine. Only around 26,000 made.

I whack just about all year round. Secret is to keep the fuel fresh and lube it up a lot. I usually spend about an hour and a half whacking.. Arms get really tired after that. Haven't whacked much this year, but after all this talk, I may whack as soon as I get home.
