It would be a great property to rehab and use it for something, maybe a good start for an antique store or junkyard. I always wanted to find a big old industrial building like that and convert it into a house. Not many people, including my wife, would see tha aesthetic beauty of a place like that though. Only the guys on this forum! Later.

Oh and Wayne, my wife would love to have a big old factory building turned into a house. Then I could spend the rest of my life making furniture to fill it (or not!) We actually looked at an old abandoned sardine cannery wharf a few years ago to live in but a problem with septic disposal over the water prevented us from persuing it any futher.

But you are right, only the folks here find this stuff beautiful in its own right.

Parts are readily avalible from N A P A still and they really aren't hard to re- build . The transmissions are Balky and expensive but for you Shiftless people , a C- 4 will go up behind the Early Ford six without problems . Ed Shaver
