 Dave,

  Didn't ever mean to imply these were all restorable
projects. We've all seen what's in the salvage yards.
The vast majority of these will be parts cars with
just a very few that might make a project. Just hate
to see the parts crushed. I can see the owners side
also, as these cars have been there a long time, but
he was depending on a small segment of people to sale
the parts to. They could have been sold at swap meets
or the internet, but that's not how old salvage yards
work.
