[6pack] the sad end of my triumph

[Lee Daniels]

George -

Very sorry to hear about the frame situation. Regarding selling it, you'll
have trouble getting any serious takers; if you have an eBay account, look at
the "complete" auctions for TRs in poor condition.

Because you have "newish" interior, top, etc. and MiniLites, etc. you'll do
much better by parting it out, but it's an incredible amount of work to do so.
If you present it right, though, you might get a reasonable offer from an
enthusiast.
