And now for something different.... '72 Suzuki Carry
Neat little truck-ish thing here - these were evidently imported through International and sold in the early 1970s. This one needs motor work but looks pretty solid for the $1350 ask. I think it would be a hoot to get running and drive around your subdivision...or business...or whatever else you can use to justify buying another project you don't really need.
I love the speedometer - 100mph, not sure I'd try that in this thing. Link to 1972 Suzuki Carry auction |

I gotta tell you, this makes me wish I had time and room for another project. 21.9 cubic inches and 28 hp. Two cycle motor. Top speed of 59 mph. I don't think it could hit 100 if you drove it off a cliff.
Still, what a blast. This would be a great alternative to a golf cart for driving around swap meets. I looked closely at the pics trying to find rust, or remnants of rust. Either someone did a good job of hiding it, or there just isn't any rust to speak of.

I know it! Either it's hiding 50lb of bondo, or it was really well kept.

I wonder if it could be street legal?

i do not think they were ever street legal, even when new.

I have one very similar, but newer on my honeybee farm.
(similar truck) Mine is a Mitsubishi and still a RH drive model. Works great hauling things around the farm and the drop sides are good for loading the hives onto the bed. Takes some getting used to shifting with your left hand. All in all a fun little 4x4 truck that's cheap and tuff. /Rich
