My love / hate relationship with eBay
My latest insanity:
 Vintage Jenkins Competition refrigerator. Bill thinks he's had it since maybe the 40's and it comes complete with "competitor" stickers back to 1970, a Jenkins Competition custom machined door handle and Bill's signature (top left). I will put a copy of the above picture in the other framed white spot on the right by the handle.  When we loaded it into the van, an intake gasket fell out the bottom and what we thought was a buildsheet. Upon further review, it was an old handwritten spec sheet for what appears to be gear ratios and other stuff on one of Strickler's cars. I'll try to clean it up a bit and post it.  And no...you may not have it.

Re: My love / hate relationship with eBay
Were there any authentic Grump Jenkins leftovers in it? Cool piece! I think you should bring it to SCR10.

Re: My love / hate relationship with eBay
Any truth to the rumor that it's headed to the boys at SCW for a complete restoration?

Re: My love / hate relationship with eBay
Hey Jeff...very cool! .
As a non-functional unit, wouldn't it be prefect for you 'English guys' who prefer warm beer anyway? . Seriously, a 'fridge guy should be able to diagnose the problem and if you have trouble finding parts they still run tons of these old streamliners in places like Cuba? . Also considering how much of a power hog these old units are, a transplant may be something to consider too? . I'd be careful of sending the unit anywhere for repairs as it may come back looking like new...kind've like getting your original block back w/ a free decking job? . How 'bout a lift of the bonnett for an inside shot? .  ~ Pete
