What's in the box?
Recent post by @jdawginsc prompted me to think about this, used to be (and hopefully will be again) the dragbike hauler.
What do you think is in there now?

Cool fox body stang. Those are starting to command some $$$. I have no idea what's in the box. My only guess is a lot of bicycles.

The Mustang was the tow car and drag car, tow the bike and trailer down, unhook the Mustang, wife race it, me on the bike, end of the day pack it all up and drive home.
It towed to the races twice a week for 10+years, total bad azz.
Mustang has over 300K on it, still runs but overheats bad, probably needs a head gasket, have a bunch of parts including a spare core block if it comes to that.

Ok, I’ll play: motherlode of NOS suntour cassette hubs, as well as a large quantity of NOS campagnolo syncro-1 downtube shifter ring inserts, all colors made.
Hey, I dream big, but not too big.

A Bianchi that shall not be named?
A fleet of Domino's pizza delivery bikes with flip flop hubs?
Nothing and you are just messing with us?

That was a great looking car- white body, black top, black bra, black trunk rack. *sigh*
