What kind of car are you going to pick-up? Will you need a trailer?

Ed Zachary.... have your funds set aside, and if you see a deal, run, don't walk  towards it...

When I sold the bug, I had the cash, and was ready when I saw the Plymouth.  I scooped in and snatched it out from under a half dozen others who were asking about it.....

It's all about speed of attack.   ;)

Come look at the bus, Has all the seats including the middle, very little rust (some surface but it is the OEM paint...) Has the trannie and 1 key unlocks all the doors.
I'll take $650 for it as is with an unknown 1600 Long block that is not locked up and came out of a "was running when parked" car...It is an AJ fuel injected case.
Brakes are up, spongy but up. Bus has roller tires on it and was towed (2 wheels on ground from Trenton Ga to my house.

I also have a BRAND NEW non mounted set of correct 185 R14 8 ply correct load rated tires for it.  I only unwraped 1 to look at the others are still wrapped up in their shipping wrappers.  These are an additional $400 and are optional.  With shipping I have more than that in them..

Kids are getting older and what Little time I had is slowly being erroded by their activities.  I am also listing the Jap beetle and will be on the hunt for a newer H2O VW when I finnish thinning the heard.


Let me know.KC
