At the swap meet today, I purchased this parts book. It's got lots of wear on the cover (cover is taped and not in good shape) and it's clear it has been used but the parts pages appear to be all there. All in all, a great reference book and I am looking to help out Todd a bit with the sale of it.
The deal is, I have $35 invested in the book. It will cost about $20 to ship it, so I need to get $55 out of the book, shipped anywhere in Canada via regular mail. I approached Todd with the idea of listing it for sale/auction for 9 days here with a starting bid of $55 and if there are further bids than that, anything in excess of that amount will go 100% to support Canadian Poncho.
So here is your chance to support the site and get something in return. The auction will end next Tuesday evening at 11 PM Manitoba time (since Monday is a holiday) and the highest bid ($55 or higher) will get the book. I won't go on and on about the book but I was pretty tickled to find it as it's not an easy one to find. It's really about perfect for the cars made from 69 and up because it's print date is November 74.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks, and I hope this is done in a way that everyone gets a fair chance to support the site with a return for that investment.
Carl

Hi carl I have one of these books for myself and the info in it is unlimited this book has codes for almost everything if not everything this book in my eyes is worth it's weight in gold so I hope CP members realize having this in their possesion is well worth the a winning bid Jim
Thanks guys, keep it up! Every extra dollar bid after the opening bid goes directly in to Todd's pocket. Hey, wait a minute ..................................... Just kidding, that's a good thing. I can't imagine how many bucks he's put out for all of us and not asked for reimbursement.
I guess I better get a box ready for this puppy to head for it's new home next week, wherever that will be.
