> number of investors. In return, you will get your pick of up to 5 trucks
> (I've already claimed one suburban!), at least one of the spare engines,
> a $300 gift certificate good towards the purchase of any parts in the
> future (you pay for shipping when you use it), and an equal share of the
> pie (this percentage depends on the number of people investing divided
> by the remaining 50% of the shares).
> If 4 people want in, then all would get 5 trucks and 5 engines, 5 people
> get 4 trucks and engines, 6 people get 3 trucks/engines, etc. (for the
> record, you are responsible for picking up and transporting your new
> goodies, and you can do with them as you see fit). I would like to limit
> the number of partners to 10, but any number under that will work.
> Well, there it is in a nutshell. If you are interested email me directly

> sale of the parts, and thought that others may wish to do the same.
> Also, if you have any specific parts requests, I will be doing a
> detailed inventory of the place in the next few weeks, so let me know.
> Thanks
