<VV> Another 69 Bites the Dust - VIN on engine ?

[Charles Lee]

Can't get the engine out ?  It has the VIN on it too, as well as few other 
places ?

Did it have seat belts ?

Wouldn't want to think of things after they're crunched !

I remember someone who had a Corvair crunched into a coffee table shaped 
cube, and put it in their living room though I'm not sure what his wife 
thought of that ?

Another guy loved his Model T (or "A" ?) so much, he brought in and put it 
in the den (or maybe it was the living room ?) !

Gotta love your car for that much effort !

Charlie
