PCC Diner to be scrapped

(Refrained myself from titling this "Burger PCC about to be flipped")
Here is a newsbit from metro Toronto- Posting it here with hopes that someone salvages the usable components from this car. The body may even be in better shape than some other "preserved" cars.

There are so many PCC cars, like cabooses (cabeese?), around that it is unlikely that there would be much interest in this one, particularly as the trucks are not standard gauge, but Toronto gauge (4'10 7/8").

I think it has a better future as a diner in another location than as an operating PCC. I'm asking a few people I know about it....

It probably would not be hard to find surplus standard gauge PCC trucks (or parts sufficient to re-gauge the Toronto-gauge ones under this car) if necessary.

The car's front end is gone.

It's just a flesh wound.

The photo of the car today doesn't look all that good:

Well, if anything, would Kenosha be interested in the usable parts?
