Hi Mike,
thanks for posting! I wondered what had happened to this car. I recently talked to Al Roof of Columbus Ohio (he once owned the car) to ask what had happened to it, and if it was the same car that was on eBay this summer. He told me that he had sold it to another guy in Columbus, who did in fact, put it on eBay, but didn't know who bought it.
So....congratulations on being the newest Goliath owner!
There are only 3 other 2 cylinder Goliaths that I know of in the US one in Michigan, one in Nevada, and one parts car in California. See the complete list of known Goliath cars and trucks elsewhere on this forum.
Sounds like you are going to restore her; good luck and keep us posted!!
