I've been e-mailing Ross about these parts. They shouldn't go to the
crusher. We should try to effect a save. I don't think buying single
items is what is wanted here. Be able to pick up a large percentage of
the parts, or buy later from the person able to get a U-Haul, and
storage and haul 'em off. I haven't pinned down a price yet. Hopefully
it's cheap, because the price of fuel for the guys coming from a
distance is going to hurt. There is a time restraint that will have to
be spelled out. It seems the guy has a nice '56 President sedan and a
'56 Commander parts car. Don't know if it's a vice-president, or a
Classic. Here is someones chance at evil vendor status.

1-pile of AxeIs.(I2--) I saw this some time ago, now the area is
covered in stuff I assume they
are still there, but not sura
This part I will describe the best I can, from the quick look I had,
One room (dry) hill of 55 gal drums, the old re-sealable metal kinds. I
believe there was 6 or 8.
looked into two of the drums One was Fill of generators, starters, and
had at least one flywheel on the top layer, but looked to be most all
starters & gen' s. I pulled three units out, they appeared to be
rebuilt, clean, painted, new brush's, bright and under cut
commentators. The hole drum was bone dry, and all contents looked clean
and paintei The second drum was Ml of various electrical stuff. I saw
many small boxes, points, etc. Distributors and other unknown at
bottom. Now the owner has told me on many occasions that they bought
the inventory of a local parts vendor, and fellow collector about 20
years ago, and that is where these drums came from. The current owner
said the drums are hill of "good new stuff' like what I saw. This
room has several shelf's and racks stacked with Snide stuW of which I
did not note. The room is packed.
There is one other room that has a good amount of stuff in it as welL I
saw about 6 box's, and other loose tie rod ends, carbs, fuel pumps,
water pumps, and pump housings, starters, generators, relays, dash
pieces, and more I don't recall..
There is more scattered about. Motor pans, trans parts, headlight rings
& buckets, brake drum's, boxes, God only knows. That is all I recall,
and or made note of at this time

Hope this worked (the scan).....This could be a gold mine, or just a
noble thing. I am willing to make one turn around with my full size
Dodge and 20' car hauler. It would take some trust and planning if we
split this up. Can anyone help??????   KM
