Well, years ago, shortly after I moved to Utah, my father wrapped up my Lionel
train set, preparing to ship it out to me.  It actually sat in his garage for
maybe 20 years.  I hauled it to Salt Lake a few years ago, and took a look.

One of the newspaper pages wrapping up one or another of the items was the
automotive classifieds of the Indianapolis daily paper, circa 1973:


'67 Chevelle, 396, 4 spd. $950

'67 Corvette conv. air, power windows, 427, $2,300

Ferrari, 1959 250 GT, 12 cyl. 2 passenger, excel. cond. $4,950

'53 Jag XK120 show car, $3,395

'64 MGB New red paint, new top, luggage rack, very fast, $1,000

'59 MGA, engine good, body needs work $500

'58 Porsche, runs good, $850

'60 Triumph, 4 spd., looks, runs perfect  $300

'64 TR4 wire wheels, new paint, tires, $750

'64 TR4 Rebuilt, mech. perfect, new tires, no rust $850

'56 Morgan Plus 4, excel. orig. condition, $3,500
