Well thats almost true Ken you don't find many junk or parts units on the
Bay. They get listed as "GEE WIZ I don't know a thing about this so it is
sold as is".

I collecdt and rebuild these out of hobby and have seen a lot of junkers on
eBay, had one on there last week I looked at, I beleive it was a 301 they
took a picture with the hood up and you could see in the shot that the
power trans had flamed. This was pretty obvious in the picture never mind
having it sitting in front of you but it was being sold as is should work!

Enough ranting, if you run across a 20 junker and don't want it let me know!
