Default Re: The OneThat Got Away

Many years ago, a farmer in my neighborhood had a solid 37 (I don't know designations well - guess it'd be a 5 window) and a 46 Merc sitting by his house. As a high school kid, I stopped several times and made reasonable offers. No dice. He drug them back into the woods on his Ohio farm. The humidity and weather reduced them to unstable piles of rust. My sister then married his nephew, who said "come and get them". Got a few mechanical parts off of em.
