Is that a Champion car or a California Friendship?

Looks exactly like the Champion Escort I once had. They changed the trunk opening from the bottom to the top, or visa-versa mid-production stream.

That is a nice looking rig. Your ad does not mention it but is the front end modified to ease steering effort?

I am out of town at the moment and can post a pic when I get back next week. The passenger seat is like new as I have taken out the seat to carry my dog. The seat is easily put back into the car.

Attached are some pics of the inside of the car. I have used the car 99% of the time to carry my dog - a non-shedding Bernedoodle. Accordingly, the pics have the seat removed and "flooring" over the carpet on the floor to make it more comfortable for the dog. I am also attaching some pics of the seat which has been in storage. The seat attaches to the car with two bolts that can be seen on the piece of wood I use for the dog tether.

Hi CCjon. I purchased this rig from Banner Guy. You were right about the GL1800 being a good tug. Have you pulled the sidecar off and ridden the bike as a two wheeler? I used to do that with my K1200LT/Motorvation rig. Do you run a rear tire on the front wheel? Appreciate it. Best, Jim

Hey dodmead, when I had my 2005 GW hack I ran a Bridgestone Bt45 on the front. That tire has since been replaced with the BT-46 which does not need to be mounted in reverse (They say). Good luck with that rig. Tom

Dodmead, congratulations on finding a fine long distance rig.

Have not tried to remove the sidecar for any two wheel action. My DCT has the modified front forks by Hannigan.

Re tires, mounted a Bridgestone BT-46, 130/70-18 rear MC tire on the front, a 195/55-16 run-flat car tire on the rear.

Happy Holidays
