<VV> 2 discoveries!!

[Shaun]

In a '63 F-85 Deluxe 4dr I once had, there was a credit card receipt stuffed
down the crack in the middle of the front bench seat. On the receipt was the
original dealer's name in California with "F-85 demonstator" written on it.
It had the sweet 215 aluminum V-8 with the extra high compression 10.75:1
heads. I know why they picked it for a demonstrator.<G>

yea, Vairily ... Shaun

Wonder who did that?
