I wish I could remember. Several years back, one of the RCM readers
reported he had figured out a way to convert the V-8 engine in his pickup
truck to steam. It was very easy to do, according to him. Also Live Steam
Magazine ran a series on the Barret steam Volkswagen.

--I encountered one of the members of SACA West at the Makers Fair
last month and he told me that Pete Barrett had died and that his really
fantastic car had been sold but he didn't know who got it. If you want to
find out about it I'd recommend that you get in touch with Ken Kowal, who
lives in the Los Angeles area. Ken is, as far as I know, the brains that
keeps SACA West ticking over and he's a real walking encyclopedia of all
things steam car..
