them from one trailer to another because we couldn't get up the driveway brought them to the new home and this is kind of the end of the line for these cars as far as we know I think it was a special activity that we don't normally get to experience and born fine hunter you know we usually find an old Corvair lying in the woods and that's the end of the story but here this has continued for three episodes maybe it's not over I don't know maybe maybe they will see one of these cars again but I would love to be the person to wash these cars back in the shampoo the carpets and rebuild the clutch in that one rebuild the brakes in that one and and enjoy them the way they were supposed to be enjoyed they're great cars did their time capsules and interestingly I got a phone call two days ago from a guy whose name is Dominic Fabrizio jr. and Dominic lives in Boston and his father bought this car new went to Italy and he's got the original shipping documents from Italy to Boston so the guy that bought us new is alive in Boston you know there's another story that's kind of happened because his son Dominic has been searching for his father's call for 30 years he said I finally found it because
