Humm...$150.00 for a drive shaft, sounds like he really wanted to give you the
shaft alright! I haven't seen these cars, but Scott tells me that he was very
reasonable about prices and really wanted to get rid of this stuff.

About the "Rust Free" comment:
I agree with Russ and probably should have used a better descriptive word. Scott
saw this car as it pulled in on the trailer. His comment was "a very solid car". I
have no idea if the "solid" red Alpine is still there or not.
