Yep.

That's one of the cool things of these GTs-we ride through countless small towns, many of which have vintage gas stations, some vacant, some repurposed, a few still pumping gas.

Seney, IA, population <50, had a transmission shop and a Sinclair station, but both closed before I was born. They were going through the building to sell it three years ago and it had all sorts of vintage mopar speed parts in it, NOS transmission rebuild kits, vintage sparkplug cleaner machines, all that. It was really cool to see it after being untouched for over 30 years.

It's pretty cool when one of those ultra rare gems are discovered.

Glad you got to experience that.
