Heard there was a "musclecar" that had been sitting outside for years just a few blocks away. Gave it the drive by, and guess what I found? I'll attempt to make contact sometime in the next few weeks. Been there for years, in no hurry, and things are pretty hectic right now. I'll update when I know more.
Rumor I heard is the guy is ready to let it go. I'm not interested in another project of that size right now, but maybe I can middle man it for someone.
As Jason said once in a discussion in another thread, it's not totally luck. Everybody around this area knows me as a "car guy" that actually owns more than one at a time and will work on what look like piles of crap, so they always give me leads. I work at a dealer, so I meet a lot of other car people. Plus, I'm not married, have no kids, and the girlfriend lives 2 hours away, so I do a lot of "scouting" myself every week. This one was kind of a shock, as it's so close, but it's on a street I have no reason to ever drive down.
Id have a hard time waiting a few hours. They would either sell me the car or have to take out a restraining order
I know. Probably before the end of the week. Just have a set of brakes to do tonight for a friend that's moving to Vegas Friday, the block for the F100's new engine is supposed to be done Thursday, my custom cam comes in tomorrow, I haven't got my pistons on my rods yet, and don't even have the crank pulled out of the old engine. I've got almost 60 hours of actual job to pull off before closing Friday. Oil needs changed on my F250, my Dad gets in this weekend, and my Grandma's funeral service is next week. Plus I need to see the lady friend some time this weekend. I'll try. I promise.....we'll see how long these brakes take tonight. It is a newer VW so you never know.
To help me pull the crankshaft and do these VW brakes so I can go check out the GS? I knew I liked you, Mike
Riding abit high in the front, no? Perhaps the powerplant is missing. You may be in luck, looks like a bottle of finish detail on the hood. They may be ready to sell and are going to shine her up....Jim
I'm pretty sure that's hornet killer, Jim hahahaha......maybe it's for bees and I can get some honey.
