Hi Txbobcat, thanks for the message, the more I think about this the more I think I'll come over and drag the cars out and organise for them to be shipped to storage. As I mentioned earlier I have 3 weeks vacation around Easter so it's not a problem for me to fly in sort it out, but I might have to sort out storage before then...Craigslist is a good option for me.
Mike was right about the engine, it would need a rebuild...I was so frustrated when I saw the car as the engine was a sweet little thing without any problems, but being exposed to the elements is just sloppy on his part. My problem is, I'm too trusting...when someone says they are going to do something I think they will do it...I certainly wouldn't do this to anyone.
I sometimes use a haulage guy in Texas to move any cars around the country, thanks for you offer of going to assess the cars. I might take you up on it, but I don't want to give him too much warning or who knows I might not see all the spare parts for the car he has stored! I might tell a little white lie and say someone might be coming to look at the car to see if it's a project he wants to tackle....
The cars are in Norman, Oklahoma so it's pretty close to the Texan border.
I'll send you a PM nearer the time
Thanks again
Peter
