    Be careful with parts sold by the "lot"- always look them over, never buy "sight unseen"- much of the time, the high value and high demand stuff has already been sold, and what's left is a nice assortment of obscure little chassis brackets and non-sheet metal body braces and parts that NOBODY ever buys. When you think about it, when it first left the dealership and became a "parts lot" many years ago, it probably already ran heavy to stuff that had sat on the shelf for years and years because of low demand.

    Ken, you should have said you were going to be in the area... I was in hershey the same day you were. I would have liked to hook up, and went and grabbed a cold drink somewhere. You could have met the infamous hudsonkid, and shared your experience with the rest of the group. I would have loved to meet ya...



    let me know next time your around, it would have been fun. :cool:

    I have seen this Hudson stash a couple of years ago. They are all used parts and not all that much that others would be interested in. Way too much money as far as I am concerned and I am only about 15 miles from it.

    I'd be leary about buying parts that have been piled on the ground for who knows how long.
