Nope, not a joke.
Ozarkguy, you pretty much summed up many of my concerns. Supposedly, two of these are running, but even if they do start and attempt to drive, the tires are so bad that even a spin around the block is out of the question. It does look like there is plenty of evidence of plywood damage. At first glance, they all look like there is hope, but, as you look closer, I'm not sure how much. To be really solid, I think all of them would have to be completely torn down. I do like projects, but don't need a sinkhole, that is what boats are for! (A hole in the water to place your money...)
I'd probably have to have them shipped a considerable distance, so not sure that makes sense either. But still, there is a nostalgia in the whole idea, and I'm really interested in learning more, and haven't yet convinced myself that this could be the worst idea ever. So please keep the comments coming.
Thank you,
Jonathan
