Both have since been recovered by local collectors. One of them stayed locally, and the other went West if I recall correctly.

As to the owner, he wandered into the bush one day and never did return.

He'd played his part in the recycling process just as his genes compelled him, exactly as a maggot is programmed to do.
Do scrappies work to higher ideals? They leave nothing behind.
Know your enemy.

Default Make friends with Bubba....

Bubba is not a monster, he just doesn't share your interests in historical artifacts.... after all, it's all about money in this day and age.

Bubba is just a guy who sees money laying all over the prairie. If you stop, be courteous and maybe share one of his beers with him, then next time he finds something "green" he will call you.

Problem is, with this economy, he will call you with something that you feel is not currently "economically viable", you don't buy it and it goes to the scrap yard.....next time something like it he finds goes directly to the scrappers.

But still keep in touch with these guys, drop in and have a beer once in a while...after all, they are the ones out there looking every day while you are at work...

Didn't mean to butt in...just my two cents.

Thanks, David

Back in the day CMPs were everywhere. If every one of them remained, then the ones that are left would not be unique.

At least these ones were not excessively cut or mangled.

Default Hups and bubbas

We don't have Hup's in Australia, just the odd 6 seater CMP.
Bubbas are known here as grey-haired horders or black hole collectors, with or without the beer. sorry.
