<x-charset iso-8859-1>I found the prices of the cars so low that high parts prices would be
impractical.
Its NOT a Porsche, if the car in nice shape goes for $4K... then that limits
how much you can ask for any individual part... car guys do put more into
thier cars than their worth BUT...

Ive known of several rusted parts cars here in the NE for a couple hundred
bucks, I know some have been collected up but probably not all of them.
