Why not?  For the reasons that Ed cited.  It will be used as a painted display car.  Now if you would like to donate $1,000,000 to built new motors, brake hardware, controllers, door engines, seats, and patch the body.....

WP #832 is another car similar to the car Seashore Trolley Museum has, Curved side car #639  from Wheeling W.V. This car was in similar shape and basically what was done was build an entire new body after jacking the roof up out of the way !!! That is the only part of #832 that can be saved. A Long long project. #639 has taken 30 plus years !! The 700's seem to be in good shape and should not take as long. Why not fix one up to run ASAP as I consider them to be a great exhibit that many people would like to see.  Just my opinion people.  cheers Rogertrolley aka Roger Jenkins
