That's the one I keep coming back to as well. Gotta look into it. Today's my wife's last day off, but I think I can at least manage a phone call and set up a time to check it out.

Too much for a car that doesn't run. You should be able to get one for $500.All you need is a straight "shell." First thing I would do is strip it down to it's underwear. Rolling chasis with ZERO interior. ZERO under hood. Hood off, hatch off, just the chasis.:bigthumbsup:

I'm just thinking of possibly recouping some money with useful bits. The FCs had the 13B, which for some is a desirable engine. That engine and trans might be worth a couple hundred bucks to somone. But hells ya, if I can find a good straight roller with manual pedals for $500, I'm all over it.

Pedals. Didn't notice. How about a used Willwood dual hydraulic.?:D

Thanks for passing on the credit Bird. :thumbs_up::drink:

We just switched my dad's Mach to a menual and the new peda assembly was not that bad to swap in, but it would be nice to not have to do it.

BTW, can Bud Jr. pull a trailer or is it too high up (do you have the drop hitch). I naturally loaned out the one buck truck til Monday, but would like to get a shell by Monday if possible.

If you get in a bind, call me. I have all that crap except a trailer.

I talked to Mike today, but his trailer can't handle a car. I'm going to ask my friend Jeff to see if he knows anyone.

Thanks. I'm going to talk to the guy in Torrance tomorrow and see what he might be willing to go for. I have the Gucci Auto Club membership; will they tow a non-op registered car that is newly purchased? That might be best.

Bud Jr. is available, yes I have a drop hitch, yes he can tow a trailer and of course you can borrow him. He is getting new front brakes on sunday unless you need him this weekend. I can do the brakes tomorrow (technically today)if need be. The fronts probably have no pad left.
