[Vwdiesel] Mail Order Long Blocks

[James Hansen]

That would be exquisite. Concours d'Elegance at it's finest.  What would be
the favored year/model?
  I used to know a few guys with a Harley sporting the obligatory oil
puddle(s) and pie plates in their living room,  but never a car.  The real
hardcore bikers didn't bother with the pie plates. lol!    Well, I do know
of one guy that built his rec room addition around a 110hp case steam
traction engine, with roll up doors to pull it out, and push it back in
after he plays with it. That's a biiiiig  steam engine. Nothing unusual
about that...
Ever see a Taylorcraft? I like a model A.  I built in provisions to hang one
in the great room if I ever fall into a barrel of money.
