assistant: * Crossposted from: For Sale Echo
I'm looking for two WIX filter products, from their bank series, in years
past.  I'm looking for the first two vehicles, both tractor trailers, in
their annual bank series.  In the last few years, the "vehicle" has consisted
of two, one to tow a trailer and the second vehicle, which was on the
railer.
In the first couple of years, it was an 18 wheeler.  It would have a serial
number on the bottom, and I'd prefer ones that are still in the original
boxes, again with the serial numbers on them.  If anyone out there has the
two, let me know, along with the price you are looking for.  You can reach
me here, at the phone number in the tagline or at  RONNIE2000@JUNO.COM
Thanx for any and all help.
