My husband posted this on our local Freecycle list. At first I was impressed by his display of humor, but then he said it was because he thought more people would respond if it was funny.

Maniacal mechanical genius in seach of parts for next diabolical
project. Old motorbikes, minibikes, small gas engines old Chevy motors
and trannies and other autoparts, complete or parts. Fast, ontime
pickup promised! Don't let it rust away, let me tinker, grind, weld
and machine it into something cool and impractical! Phone ***-***-**** or
email ******@******.com. Thanks!
