Hi Stuart

My vote is for Mystical, "old fart" who has three fully running restored CMP stashed in the barn. Of course I take them out and drive them every chance I get.

But I take your point, probably all of use have watched over the years as a once restore-able truck, or antique what ever, gradually is reclaimed into the earth as rust. All the while the owner turns down every inquiry from somebody that might restore it, saying I plan to restore that.

But there is some validity to idea of storing that old truck/car away in the corner of the garage until you have the time and to money to restore it. I'm working one now that has been hidden away since 1973 or so, and there are two more inline after that one. But then apparently, I like others who love CMPs are exceptions that prove the rule.

So raise your glass to the mystical old CMP restores.

Cheers Phil
