Yabut, you live here in southern California, where guys USED to be able to go into a boneyard and get a completely rust-free '40s - '70s body. I sold my '68 Skylark a few years back, but I could have picked up a complete running '70 Electra 225 with a 455 and a 400 THM and AC for $1400 at the Pick-Your-Part in Sunland (now called LKQ) that I could have stuffed into it for cheap...and then scrapped the rest and been money ahead. Since Joe took the classic pre-'73 cars to Memory Lane, and then that folded, those deals are only found in a back lot of some house where you can see it from the street, if you're lucky.
