It will for sure be towed from Lubbock. That's a long way to drive an old car. Especially one that's been off the road for a while. I'm gunna start calling transport companies.
Say Larry, you didn't find my trailer ramp did you? haha I still can't believe it fell off. My dad took it pretty well though. I'd be pissed if I was him.

He should call himself 'The Jim Guinn Experience'. Highly recommended. Worked out well for me.

Thanks, I'm going to call him tomorrow morning. I read some where he'll do it for about .75$ a loaded mile, that's about 300-350$ which is fine with me.

Well I called up Jim yesterday, sounds like it fit perfectly into his schedule and he picked it up today!!! He's charging me twice what the last guy quoted me but oh well, It's getting done quick and I got the spare cash now.
It should arrive at my ranch tomorrow but I won't be able to look at it until early next week because of my work schedule.

I don't know, I think Jim's price was a little steep but it got done and done quick so no real complaints. I'm sure we're both happy about the deal

Well I finally got to look at it today. Not quite as nice as I thought, but it's a good car. I guess Kary thought he should take the mirrors off before he sold it to me even though they're in the pictures and I couldn't tell the windhsield was cracked from the pics but oh well. It's a decent car, It's plenty good for me!
Bad side, some bondo, some dents, the car did come with a decent fender and bumper The paint will buff out a lot more. I didn't have time to work on it. I couldn't get it to run. I put my spare 1965 carter on it and I could get it to run off ether. I'm gunna try to run it out of a gas can and see how she runs. The interiors pretty nice though, those buckets are comfy as heck

You might have to start calling your place the pontiac ranch, but when you get to be an old crazy geezer, don't bury them nose first in the ground
