What did I just overpay for?

I've been through 19 pages of the "What is it?" thread and didn't see anything close. Homemade possibly?

Never mind, Manco Thunderbird. Just saw someone posted one in the second newest post...

Well, you're supposed to POST in the What is it? forum and get your answer. No need to scroll through page after page trying to ID it yourself, that sounds like torture!

Do that next time and you'll get an answer in 5 minutes or less.

Oh well, got to see some cool mini's in the process at least.

Be neat to attempt a restore on that Manco as it has seen better days.

That exhaust system looks...unique. Is the end of the "muffler" capped off and the exhaust fumes exit from that side hole?

I'm contemplating restoring it. Yeah, the exhaust is something else... There is a hole in the end cap as well. The guy I bought it from was definitely interesting, and really liked spray paint.
