>>>I don't know the details; my recollection was that when Andy's went up 
in smoke, it wasn't the first time that happened.   But with so few of these 
cars out there, I figure somebody else would know about it?   Maybe I'm 
confused, because that car traded hands again and again so quickly after the 
fire, that it wound up looking like two cars?   Didn't you wind up buying the 
wreck from Roger Brotton?   So you have it still?
