They make great ice scrapers in the winter. Just hook'em on some vise grips and your good to go!

I must also confess. I pulled a trim tag off a brown '69 Camaro sitting in a junkyard in W.Va. The junkyard owner kept on saying something about it being a rare and special Camaro. I said "what you'd say? Didn't Chivey make something like a million gadjillion '69's that year?" I think he was trying to pull my leg. My 9th grade public school education got the better of him though.[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

p.s. Found out last year some city slicker came out of the big city and paid big money for that shell. I guess their born every minute.

I would think that after the big story of the Brown COPO that was found in a junkyard in W. Va, that turned out to be a fake, that every junk yard owner in W. Va who has a brown 69 Camaro thinks it must be a special car.

The winning bidder has quite a collection of them now looks like. I can't believe someone would spend as much as he has to just "collect" them! Did anyone else see the blank NOS POP plates on e-bay a few days ago( may still be on). Just fill in the blanks! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Surely you guys don't think the trim tag would end up on another CAR do you! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].I think some guys like to collect them to have a piece off a rare old car,but then MAYBE ther are some people out there like Mr tuttle that would actually use them on another vehicle.Here I go again Marlin I am riding again,or probably will be in the HOT SEAT AGAIN!
