Got any friends in California who can hold onto this for you? Maybe have 'em just chop off the pieces that you need and send them off in the belly of a Greyhound bus. Throw the remainder back up on ebay.

Wow. I'll be 'watching' the auction. Between that and your friend in Dixie, I should be set. Thanks!

If you DO get serious about it and end up buying it, you might be able to arrange for a hop-scotch style transport across the country tapping the forum membership with trailers or friend with trailers. I'm in for a section of the run, Gordon's clan may help since he travels from MA right past you on his way South for the Winter months.
Or . . . I've got you covered with my new/old ride.
We did this with a TR8 out of Texas once and it worked out REALLY well. Like handing off the Olympic Torch, but bigger, and rusty, with a little grease thing happening . . .

Still no bids, and a day to go. ...
Title and vin tag are worth that then have the seller to run the remaining pieces over :)

How'd you know, Alan? Been talking to TC?
Heve been on a couple of hunting trips in the past ....
Yeah, but there aren't many of those salvage yards left. One of the largest (and oldest) left in Central Massachusetts is closing next week, or so, and I would expect a huge crowd of Street Rodders and restorers to be out there for the "Final Pick" this coming Saturday.
Bet'cha TC might be there.......Weather's supposed to be nice and mild, too!!
I can just see those new, cordless, Christmas Sawzalls charging up all over New England right now....

Gordon, if you're going to be there for that ...
Very seldom does a salvage yard close due to required EPA clean up they are usually sold and the mess is passed on to the new owner. That is, unless big guns are buying the property and can afford the price to scoop up the soil truck in away at $300 plus per ton only to have it put through an incinerator.

Already been there and gone, that's where this came from:

That yard was, and still is flat out UNBELIEVABLE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! If you go there with an open mind and a little imagination it'll drastically change your life, honestly. Far too many projects, way too many parts and potential, everywhere you look is another "What if?" or "Why not?"
When you get there your heart will actually start beating faster and you'll begin to bounce up and down like a kid . . . I SWEAR ! ! ! !
Ebay is gonna explode is about two weeks with all this cool stuff.
And all this wonderment is being steadily crushed, has been for the past couple of months or more. Example: there's currently a first generation, COMPLETE Jaguar XKE short nose coupe (the BEAUTIFUL ONE!) with the wire wheels and delicate bumpers and aluminum bonnet and everything else, CRUSHED and at the bottom of a four car stack !
Nothing newer than around 1964, mostly stuff below 1950.

Wonder if he has the title to the "convertible D". There's about enough left of that car to throw in the back of a hatchback, Cory. If he has title. Hmm....

Cory,
Check this one out!

You might really want to include some of the assembly, body and interior details on your own ride. A LOT of these little touches are just perfection. I mean, a grease cap strap? Come on, now, how COOL is THAT ! ? ! ? ! ? !

I've dragged worse looking cars to the dump myself!
Looking at some of these I can only think that maybe someone out there has devised a way to extract a car's DNA and then uses the DNA to clone an exact replica. (Like the dinosaur movie a while back) Really, can you actually do something with that stuff?

TC, I'm 'watching' the red one.
Spring will not come and go without one of those roaches hiding behind my house. I appreciate you keeping me up-to-date on the current offerings.
I saw that 550 coupe a couple weeks ago, on the block from Automotive Legends. That's out of my league as long as I have the Hoopty. Again with the garage issues. Not having one, I mean.
I will, sooner or later ... I will ...

TC..I drag them home too. They sit in the front yard for a few years then off they go back to the dump. But I usually have another in mind for the vacated spot....
Maybe I've been watching too many of those landscaping shows in HGTV?

TC, Angela, you're both very, very right. That solves sooooo many problems all at once.
I am currently the high bidder. Delicious and refreshing beverages will be on me when this works. It will not get away.
