So we are all very environmentally friendly here! I sold the dash out of the green 73 hornet I parted out years ago today! The best part of the deal is I don't have to ship it! I'm meeting the guys brother-in-law about an hour from my house and handing it over. He already paypaled the money to me. The Hornet has to be the best parts car I ever bought! I've sent a lot of good stuff to new homes from that car and used a lot myself too!
