Gee thanks Roger, but we back here in the east have many , many excellent
cars and if you doubt me come to Hershey or Carlisle some time and check
them out! On the other hand I know several people who have had "California
rust free" cars shipped back here only to find out that rust wasn't free
after replacing trunk and floor pans etc. There are good and bad cars
everywhere. My 57 Plymouth came from Metropolis Illinois to New York State
in the 70's, has all its original metal and is truly a no rust car unlike
many of the cars brought back from the west coast. Dick W.

Just curious, are we supposed to be hawking cars on the list? I don't
mind myself, my delete button works fine. Just wondered.
Not sure why it's more practical to scrap a car for $200 than take some
amount between $200 and $2,500, but hey, it's not my car.

P.S. Rule of thumb in these parts, try not to buy a car from east of the
Rocky Mountains.

Just for your reference, the car on eBay that sold for $1100 had no front
clip, no engine, no seats, rusted top bows, the seller stated it needed
rockers and quarters done as well as floorpans and called it "40%
complete" - hardly a "rust free California car" in fact it's a fallacy to
believe that just because a car is from California means it has no rust.
In any case I could care less what it sells for on eBay, if it's not
worth
$2500 then I can load it with engine blocks and get $200 for it at the
crusher.
