Re: [FWDLK] 60 dodge, 57 desoto

[Roger Howard <rhoward@ISOMEDIA.COM>]

Hello to All,
    A (car) nut acquaintance of mine called me up last night...we hadnt
talked to eachother in about 2 years, so we did some catching up.
 Knowing the relative rarity of 60 dodges, I HAD to laugh when he told me he
bought a 60 dodge 4 dr from the original owner for 50 cents. He had to
extricate it from a collapsing shed, but I guess it ran...But  then he
traded it for a 57 Fireweep 4 dr....which he hasnt been able to staart...
anyway...50 cents!!!
