Those are probably the ones that are near Cornwall now. Rob, you and I spoke about them in email. I made an appointment and drove up and had a look/touch with them about a year ago. I think there were 5 sitting there when I looked. Most have a fair bit of rot in the back corners, but are un-cut. There was one that was very good, minimal rust, with some minor damage from being moved with a tractor. Owner also had a shed full of Power Packs and other parts that had come off of them. Politely put, the owner could not settle on a price, and then flatly refused sale by quoting a price both of us knew was in the Stratosphere. From what I understand, his business is about restoring vehicles for other people, and I was looking for a body to put my components in. After spending nearly 5 hours in the car to essentially settle on a deal, I was rather unhappy about the situation. Sadly, fully exposed sitting in a farm field, especially with everything un-bolted from them, exposing bare metal, i'm not sure how long they will last.
It killed me to know that those were sitting there while I tooled away reconnecting this one. At the end of the day, I just couldn't live with myself to dispense what he was asking for the relatively clean body.
