I looked at them today. They are way past saving. In a muddy yard in a position where it stays wet for a long time due to snow melt. Suspensions are down, so sitting direct on that wet ground. I think they'd break in half trying to get them out.

Been through a couple of big hailstorms. All glass smashed too.

I'm not particularly interested in the engines. So if you end up with the cars but don't want what's left after you take the motors, I could at minimum use a windshield.

But the REAL reason I wanted them was because there's a Lemons race in Denver-- actually TWO of them. One is in June and the other is in September.

And, well, there was this time when...

So, yea, I was thinking it might be fun to try again...

Stay away from my engines!  Seller hasn't been responsive. I'm going to send my son over - he lives walking distance from there.)

Geez, if only I had the time, a trailer, a place to store them and a more understanding wife, I'd be all over this.
