A Lonesome Little Clipper In Greater Vancouver BC This little rescue project is close to running/driveaway, although present condition will need improvement. It is powered by a mid-'70s IHC gas engine, still using the original Spicer gearbox. It has been converted for motor home use, but some time ago. Some appliances still usable, but it will want redoing. This could be the ideal project, particularly if you're in the PNW or Western Canada. <./td>
