Yup, kinda made a half hearted joke that I was thinking about selling it and got 3 PM's within a few minutes. As Emily said, Tom and his grandson Cory from VOSA drove down friday night (arriving at midnight) looked at it, stayed the night and came back in the morning and gave me a deposit. As much as I hate to admit it, It was more of a project than I could handle right now. ----- Original Message ----- From: a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 4:30:54 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [tcb] Re: What size engine for the '59?

Don't know if he bought that one too. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Woodall <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, Sep 9, 2009 4:19 pm Subject: [tcb] Re: What size engine for the '59?
