And another one is no longer available for restoration. Gee, if we junk 
another 5000, the remaining ones will be worth many tens of thousands of 
dollars as they will be rare. Of course Corsa will only have a few 
hundred members and convention will only be held at Pebble Beach... And 
I thought the current chatter was how to grow the club.

Location, location, location. Not owning a trailer, I limit purchases to 
what can be hauled on borrowed trailer or commercial carrier. Never see 
any minor project / daily driver rampsides for sale in this area. Daily 
drivers are still wanted and driven around here.

Did you try to sell it locally or regionally? Craigslist. Corsa website? 
Local paper to catch non-Corsa members. If you don't advertise, it will 
not sell.

Parts- latches are like gold for the ramp and tailgate. Even cores for 
replating. Axles with bearings are very desirable. Now if it has been in 
the swamp for 20 years, maybe there are no parts to save.  Pictures 
would help.

Quit looking at evilbay. Not a representative sample anymore. Craigslist 
has replaced them for projects and parts for local shoppers.

Around here we have a member that takes all our excess parts cars. 
Better to let him store them and let club members have access to parts 
than recycle them into Hondas. So you don't get any money for the scrap 
value, think of all the club members you help! It is even better to give 
the vehicle to another person who might restore it or get parts off it 
than send it to the recycler and get a little money for your wallet. 
Once gone, gone forever.
