<VV> Barn Finds

[Ken Pepke]

Charlie:  I know what you mean ... Living in the Michigan 'rust belt' has given me the opportunity to bring home several parts cars in two pieces.  As they said in the old chicken commercial 'parts is parts.'  

Even though it did not break in half I brought only one back that had no salvageable parts AT ALL ... except the 5 KH wire wheels and their adaptors which I only noticed after I bought it when I checked the tires for air pressure before towing!
