Tom;
Will your car be in "great" shape by July, 2007?  Depending on how long
they want the car for, I wouldn't mind letting them use mine, but it's
a bit
customized.  However, John Austin (Ed's son), if I remember correctly
has a cherry 63 R-2 4-speed.  I'll call Ed tomorrow and pass along this
info.  Russ Haggen and Joe Sadler might also loan their cars.

The LeMay Museum has one too, plus they have Serial #R-1001, but it's
a basket case.

John - if you're referring to Oliver Yanco (owns Av0004), he lives in
Bellingham - about 75 miles north of Bellevue.  But the idea is great.
I'll pass along the museum's request to him.  If he's interested, he
can
contact them directly.

When I talk with an owner of an interesting car, I suggest that s/he
consider loaning it to the SDAM, "my", museun for display, thus
clearing up 200 sq ft of garage space for a while.
Too bad that this show isn't during the rainy season (August - June).
