I went to one of my favorite Salvation Army stores and they didn't have any bikes :cry: but thats the way sometimes, but this particular store sells donated cars. I spotted this in the parking lot it looked like it just came out of a barn (still had the spider webs hanging) but it was in the regular parking lot, not in the for sale area...but the tags said 2000 so I assumed someone donated it. And I dont need another project...but it was tempting[img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/valentine003.jpg[/img]

I like it!

It looks sorta like the "cruising vessel" in the movie Fast Times at Ridgmount High.

A guy I know heard about an old lady with 2 antique cars in a barn. He went out there and was shocked when he opened the barn door. The 2 cars were in there, along with a P-51 Mustang WW2 fighter plane. The lady's husband (deceased) bought it after WW2 for next to nothing. She ended up selling it for big bucks. B607
