this is the 3rd time this has happened in the last 6 months. first time i come home from a vintage ride in jan. and there is a 72 stinger II with a 400 r.v. engine in it sitting by my shop. note taped to windsheild says, i work with your brother he said you collect these i hope you dont mind me dropping it off , i just wanted it out of my garage. 2nd time happened in april in was cleaning the garage that is attached to our house and a guy pulls in the driveway and asks if i'm the scorpion guy. i said i have a few are you looking for parts? he says no he has a 73 superstinger thats missing the seat do i want it. i asked how much, he said i'll drop it off later in the day, no charge as long as i dont turn around and sell it. come back from dinner out with the wife and there sits a 340 superstinger in our driveway. i live in the country and we normaly see more tractors then cars on our road. however because of a campground on the lake down the road from us, fridays and sundays we see a lot of trucks and campers coming and going from the camp ground. well last friday nite i was moving my sleds to the outside of my shop to do some welding inside and some big dodge dually with a fifth wheel camper pulls on the shoulder by my mail box. i figure the guy needs directions to the campground as this happens 2 or 3 times a week. he ask me what year my scorpions are and i told him 70,72,and 3 73's, he then says he has a black scorpion with red decals on it that has 800 miles on it, been sitting in his barn since 1991 when it wouldn't start. i'm thinking bubble nose at this point, he said he would like it out of his barn and would i want it. i said depends on the condition and price. well today i get back from the 4th of july parade in west bend and this is what was by my shop with a note, that said ,no charge just fix it up like your other ones.
