Mike---well said on the POTENTIAL partscar lettercars! Enjoyed you "top ten" 
list. For many years now, it has been my policy to never even consider a 
lettercar a parts car. Believe me, that philosophy has been tested recently while 
trying to find parts for my F convert resto while having 3 more of them back 
in the storage building! 300ly, Gil
