<VV> parts scrappage, was: Is Phoenix Charlie still in business?

[Kevin Clark kevin@kcvairbrush.com]

Years ago my brother gave me a bunch of Corvair parts, enough to  
build a Corvair. Only thing missing was a body shell. I loaded up a  
pickup truck full of parts I didn't need and took them to a swap meet  
in Cincinnati, Ohio. My goal was to get rid of them and come back  
home with an empty load. All day long I tried to sell them dirt cheap  
at give away prices and didn't sell one item. Finally at the end of  
the day when the vendors were packing up, a potential buyer looked  
around and found a cam and said how much? I said "Sir, if you want  
that, you have to take everything else".
It worked, saved from the junkyard!
