<VV> Collectible for Sale in FL - no Corvair

Tom is on the right track...
About 5 years ago we donated Cheryl's '96 Nissan Quest to the local  
community college/technical school. They were soooo happy to get a mini-van,  
since no one donates those, yet that's the #1 vehicle the students would likely  
be working on (they said). They gave us "KBB value" as a tax write-off to 
the  college, since they would not be selling it (the planned on letting the 
students  assemble and disassemble until things wore out - the rules changed 
with the  non-profits and they have to give you actual auction result as 
the tax write  off, at least here in KY, because we had donated her '89 
Voyager back around '99  to the Kidney Foundation and got way more than it was 
worth)...
What I would suggest would be find the local Vocational (High) school that  
has a body shop program (if it needs body work) or if it just needs the 
engine  work, any technical school... and let them know they could restore it 
and raffle  it off... a great way to help get funds to our cash-strapped 
schools...
Just a thought.
Good luck Grant... if it were in Kentucky I'd be all over it... my youngest 
 daughter needs some wheels (she's 18)... and the price is certainly right 
in my  budget... and I have the know-how to fix it...
;-)
Take care,
Lonzo

No! If  it doesn't sell, you don't have to get it crushed. Get an 
appraisal, then  
donate it to a charity -- find a local one that will send a truck to  pick 
it up 
-- then take the appraisal amount as a tax deduction.

Thought I would take a chance to see if there is any interest  among us in 
a 
very limited production 1984 Cutlass Ciera convertible  conversion (by Hess 
& 
Eisenhart)FWD 3.0 V6 Brougham. It is in my yard  in central Florida and my 
homeowners insurance company (Tower Hill) has  decided it is a reason to 
deny 
coverage since it is unlicensed. It has  been in the family since 1987 and 
was 
used by both daughters, but plans to  restore it have given way to a more 
realistic view as I have hit 60 (a new  crank kit and front struts are 
still 
boxed up in the trunk). It is one of  about 50 that were produced and is 
very 
restorable at only $500. Please  contact me if interested. This is not one 
of 
those "or I will have to have  it crushed" stories, but that's going to be 
my 
only option if not gone in  30 days. Thanks,
Grant  Young
