[DeTomaso] [EXTERNAL] Re: "Interesting" P on eBay

[Himes, Terry (US 397C)]

HaHa Jerry.   Ditto.  1975 found a 1930 Model A scattered all over a farmers field in Michigan.
Trailered it all home. Luckily my dad was a machinist and before that, a Ford mechanic at 
Dean & Harris Ford. Good learning experience for me. Still runs today.

    The first rule of street rodding is "If you are going to individualize 
    your car radically and don't finish, you now have a car no one likes."

    Of course there is the " rough but restorable", " it might buff out", " 
    they stopped making these in 1972",  The serial number is for a car that 
    there are only 6,000 of that year with the same paint". etc.

    In my limited scope of virtual reality, I don't think I could look at 
    that car for even the reserve price considering the out gassing of the 
    fiberglass and rust potential of the body, every piece of rubber will 
    need to be replaced.  The is an unlimited number of hours in a 
    restoration.  10  to 30k in bodywork and 10k in paint, new tires, new 
    interior, cleaning every part that is off the car and buying new bolts 
    for everything.

    Been there, done that, got the "T" shirt, wore it out, 50 years ago with 
    a 1934 Ford sedan delivery that was setting in a field and used for 
    target practice.

    YMMV,
