Not sure yet. Probably just try to sell it. If not then I'll add it to the collection!

 

[Araya51]

Nothing wrong in making extra cash on nice find but then again that is a nice collectors item also..

A friend of mine has a pedal airplane. When you pedal it, the prop turns. Cool stuff from the 50's. Gary

Unfortunately some of what gets to scrap yards is stolen from unsuspecting collectors.. I had a thief make off with 4 jeep engines and 2 very hard to find jeep Surrey axles last year, found the scrap yard he took them to and already gone.. He is paying restitution to the tune of $12 a year so far. It wouldn't surprise me if someone in your area is missing some of their collection. Scrap yards are an easy low risk way to get rid of hot stuff.

And then there are the folks who see our toys as just more junk........hopefully your car came from one of those heartless souls.

Pessimist hat off now.
