@Dave M

Not that I have the time or skills or even inclination to do something like drive to the Midwest with a crappy motor in tow, swap it into a rusted out wagon and tow it home, but you guys are awesome. Take pictures and put it on the build thread!

Gotta find someone who wants it first! But absolutely would get pictures and tell the story if something comes together.

@nocones

I mean it might be worth a mention on the Roadkill Facebook page but Roadkill may want to do a Roadkill kind of arrive, swap engine, drive with it...

Nothing wrong with that. It's all the crazy Roadkill wannabes that I'd be worried about...

@justjim75

Dont tell anybody outside of known Challenge/Lemons racers! This car was built for one of the 2 and if I can figure out how to get it home, it will make a road trip to Gainesville in Oct

That's my hope; I'd love to see it go to good use. I am not desperate to get it out of the driveway just yet, and really would like to avoid the CL and FB rabble that would undoubtedly come out of the woodwork for this one. Right now it is just posted here and on RacingJunk. I'd like to put it up on the Lemons forum page as well, but I haven't been able to get registered because the confirmation email never comes through.

Sale pending. I will come back and update when it's gone, but at the moment it looks like it will stay in the GRM family!

I'll probably have the build thread posted before I make it out of Indiana. 

EDIT: Yes this car is why I was asking about the FMV of an old 350.

Put me next on the list if the current pending deal falls through.  I need this in my garage.

It's gone! Daylan came and picked it up this afternoon. With some creative application of tow straps and some shuffling of the rest of my car collection, we managed to foist its girth upon an unsuspecting uhaul trailer. Hoping to see a build thread soon! I did get one last good drive in it about 3 weeks ago, and sent off my 7 or so years with Humphrey the wagon on a high note. Glad to see it getting another chance at life with a fellow GRMer.
