Having a friend who, along with his now late father, were into the vintage and NOT the hotrod end of early iron, I know that anything that is in really good condition often gets snapped up by purists (vintage restorers) who, in this part of Canada, seem to have either huge bank balances or huge real estate backed lines of credit - or both!....

.....and we hotrodders would happily go and purchase brand new repro stuff at (,sometimes, much) lower prices......

[Tman]

Yeah, the stuff many of us have been working with was usually thought of as unsaveable by the restorer crowd. But, the fact is the restorers are dying off.

Only 111 miles from my house...too bad I'm not talented enough to tackle a project like that.

[McRat]

Wow.  That's what we call Theft Recovery + Jewish Lightning + "Needs TLC".

[Rob]

Jewish Lightning?? That's a new one on me..

NS_Rider.... if you have an entrepreneurial streak, you could use some "Jewish Lightning" during the deal-making process and try and turn over a profit....

Yeah, that was not politically correct, sorry.  It's arson to collect the insurance money, especially with businesses, but can apply to houses, cars, and boats as well.  Horses "get sick", arson looks too suspicious.

That was a term used in New York for frequent suspicious fires in loft buildings when the owners were in financial difficulties.

[Rob]

Ok, now I'm with the program.

Down here it's more commonly termed a "Jewish stocktake" when referring to a business. Neither as you say are PC nowdays.

Cheers,
Rob

Coincidentally, I was within about 20 miles of that car just last Saturday night.  Had I known about it then, I would have tried to convince "she who makes the decisions" to make the side trip to have a look.  Although, after just having driven 44 hours from Colorado, we were quite anxious to get home.  We are in Yarmouth, about 250 miles from Sherbrooke. Normally we would have taken the ferry from St. John, N.B. to Digby, N.S, but we missed it by 9 minutes, so decided to drive around, visiting friends in that area Saturday night before finishing the drive on Sunday.  Of course, I would have to put about 8 bikes out in the weather to bring that in to work on it.  And I really don't like bodywork as well as wrenching.
