I am looking for one or two skycar carcasses for a project. Just the shell & sheaves is all we need.

There was one at Sayward, BC when I was there about 10 years ago, it looked like it was part of a logging iron collection on display so they might still have it but likely won't want to part with it. It looked pretty complete too. I can try to dig up some pictures of it if you would like to see them.

Here's the pictures of the unit I found. At the time I had absolutely no clue what it was.
wow ive only seen pictures of that thing in books. it rode on 2- 2 1/4" skyline and the operator lowered the dropline to the rigging crew. it was the first man operated skycar. yikes not my first choice for a job !
