This is the saddest looking 221 I have ever seen. It found me via a local scrap metal dealer, I plucked it out of the back of his truck for $5. (which is only about 3 times it's scrap metal value.)
It is currently, complete, seized, the back corner is broken off the bed and where the shellac hasn't peeled,off completely the aluminum rot has set in.
I could part it out, as there has to be at least $100 in usable parts on it, but I'm not really inclined to do that. Also I have sneaking suspicion, that if I free it up, make it sew, wire brush the loose shellac and aluminum off it, glue a stack of washers under the back corner and give a new coat of shellac , someone, somewhere would buy it off of me.
Now I just need a theme for it. Hard to think of one because I have the lyrics of "Dance Band on the Titanic" running through my head. You know the song....
I'm in the dance band on the Titanic
Playing Nearer My god To thee.
The icebergs off the starboard bow.
Won't you dance with me?
Hmmm, maybe my my subconscious is trying to tell me something....🤔.
