This Nomad was built buy the original owner for show. He had it hauled in a covered trailer through out the south. When I bought it from him it didn’t have wipers on the vehicle, they were inside the vehicle. I asked him about that and he replied that they weren’t needed for show and he informed me that was the original miles on that engine.
