    OK, I don't care what kind of home, just make it go away.

    My intent was to put the drivetrain in a Cortina but the 'Tina is so nice I would get knucked up by purists.

    1988 325 four door stick. The PO removed a lot of chachkas, tail lights, the seats are white and funky; but the engine is fine. The PO bought it just for the wheels so I traveled to New Hampshire for a set of 4 X 100s with 200 miles on the tires. My investment is travel time, gas money and frustration.

    Located near Albany, NY.

    As I have no title it is a Locost donor.

    Methinks for a free car delivery is a bit too much to ask.

    where are those pics at Dan?

  • Oct. 12, 2009 12:29 p.m. mistanfo Dork

    Interested. Checking on a available tow vehicle now. If only you had a title, I would ride a bus up and use the temporary tag that VA will sell for $5. Oh well.

    what kind of shape are we talking here? Put it this way... If you were me (or a reasonable facsimile) would you be willing to pay for the gas to/from Scranton, PA to trailer this car home, cut it up to build a race car I don't need and be happy about it?

    Would I want to buy you beer the following weekend or choke you for giving me a free car?

    Is the transmission still in it? Either way, I need to see what it will take to come get it. Anyone with an empty trailer heading west from New York?

    Everytime you post something like this I have to mapquest it to see how far away you are. Then I remember it's a 35 hour round trip and decide it's a no go.

    OK, I'm out. Sorry... it seemed like a no-brainer to me.

    The other two idiots involved believe that an E30 is too common at Lemons regardless of my insistence that there is a good reason for that and that I already have tons of spares to throw at it. I fully expect that whatever obscure nonsense we end up with will DNF because of some part made of unobtainium.

    Seriously.

    I don't have the Title so the local scrapper won't take it and I hate to burn up all those Saw-Zall blades doing a Tony Soprano on it.

    Oy!

    Is there any reason you can see that would prevent one who was willing to pay for the lost title application from having it granted?
