<VV> Cars in Fields

Hank,

I've got some pics of a dozen or so cars that a guy wanted to sell about 8 
yrs back or so.  I'd have to dig them out.  I think he wanted $300.00 or 
something like that for ALL of them.  Of course, the buyer would have to 
make them all go away.  I went through the field with a couple of buddies 
(Corvair guys).  We tried to add up what we though was there in salvageable 
parts, and we could only hit about $200 or so.  No deal!  We all felt it was 
a shame because they were probably pretty decent when parked.  If I recall 
correctly, a tree had fallen on a Lakewood and completely caved in the roof. 
This is just one of the heartbreaks on that property.

But, these are REAL pictures and I don't have a scanner.  I could loan them 
to you (give me credit when you publish) for scanning purposes.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
