Sir--excellent information.. Thanks for sharing!!

sir-what’s the exact differences in IDing as a Sprint?

Her y’all go.. another sweet little Rupp Continental.. if a new home adopts her-the Missus will be thrilled.. this little guy runs well, needs a rear tire and tube—the rest is up to the new owner as to how far to take it. Nice little machine with great bones for restoration-or good enough to...
