Re: IML: Johnny Rosen

[Ron Joseph <xcruiser66@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

No matter what we all have thought and written about Johnny Rosen over
the years, no one deserves to be treated like this.

This nasty treatment of car collectors/preservers is the norm in most
rural areas as it undergoes urban sprawl.

I fought a three year battle to stay zoned as the business I operated
for 10 years which was legally zoned as such for 25 years prior to my
use.
I lost, so I moved way out to a small rural FARM town 6 years ago to a
building built and zoned as a car (Chevy) dealer in 1939.

I didn't move far enough. 

I don't think there is a "far enough" place anymore.

Now as the sprawl is just beginning, the visits and complaints have
begun. The hand writing is on the wall, a year maybe two before it gets
costly.

So I, too, am selling off before I have to throw away another 50 grand
in legal fees. 

I have very little Imperial bits left, but as I dig them out I will
post here before ebay'n 'em.

I do have a dissembled '67 440 out of my sold CC, not hurt, just needs
rebuild. A new set (in box aftermarket) of std bore pistons for it too.


Read the article on Johnny, I hoist one to Johnny for fighting these 
do-gooders.

FROM the arizona republic >>>Rosen talks in strong terms. This former
paratrooper in the Israeli Defense Forces compares city inspectors to
Hitler's secret police and regularly uses words like "blood vendetta"
and "relentless persecution."<<<
