Bought it locally. It's complete. Needs a little wood work on the sides, down low.

Brian,

Congrats! That 640 looks very nice. Buying locally is the way to go, if you can find them.

Oh-oh! Brian has so many 650s now, he's branching out into 640s! Icon_lol

As Bill said, nice find. You'll have it performing like a 650 in no time.
