    I have a 1954 7.5 hp that I bought for $40 and put just over $100 more into. No way it’s worth what I have in it. I bought it to keep it from being scrapped, but it’s grown on me. It’s a good runner and the Elgins of the time were well designed, if somewhat "challenged" style-wise. So to echo the earlier sentiments, if you want it, buy it. Except for the funky green lower leg, it looks pretty good.
