    I think you misread it george. He said he got it from his CL junk removal ad. So the person who called him to pick it up thaught it was junk

    I know, but he is the one that did put the title though, that is what I was referring to.

    In all honesty, I was just giving him a hard time. Been countless times when we all have referred to scrap metal as junk.

    Got a call once to pick up a scrap car, when I arrived at the guys yeard I had to ask where the car was. Turns our I'm standing right beside it a 1951 Chevy 2 door HT, 6 cyclinder with a poower glide automatic. Could have drove it home, all that was wrong a few spark plugs wires on the wrong plugs a bit of rust on the rocker panels.

    I did take in home, then sold it. My personal project car at the time was a 1958 Studebaker Silver Hawk, 2 door HT, V8 with a 3 speed standard with overdrive.
