Tom, thanks for responding. It's good to get first-person corroboration of the rumors.
"corroboration of the rumors"? I think you have that backwards.
Exactly, the rest of us that replied must be Idiots. You give people Links, Info & they ignore it.
Ya give them books, and ya give them more books, and all they do is chew the covers.
Thanks, Andy, Zymurgist, and Carr, for pointing out that this topic has been discussed before. I reviewed the posts and didn't quite find what I was looking for, which is this: a direct, first-person recounting of the status of the bodies. Here's what I did find:
"If these bodies were available at that price, I'd buy two of them." (speculative)
"We've talked about this before. Use the search." (evasive and dismissive)
"You can buy a '69 Camaro body-in-white." (irrelevant)
"George Hussey said he'd sell me a repaired body." (opportunistic)
"The last 914 body sold in early 1990 to some guy in Germany." (hearsay)
You'll forgive me if despite your personal conviction that these are no longer available, my level of proof is a bit higher. I asked for personal corroboration, and only got it from the 14th post in the thread. Had any of you offered such a personal anecdote on post #2, then I wouldn't be on this soapbox.
Gentlemen, it was not my intent to give offense. Thanks for your input.
