You have my attention.  If it doesn't stay in your stable, let's talk.

In reply to Indy - Guy :

DD#2 may have one just like that for sale, too.  Black over tan 1999 with a nearly new black top.  Not sure of miles, but somewhere around 135k?

Philadelphia area.  I can put you in touch if you wish.

Find some flooded ones from California and slap box flares and a turbo Subaru drive train in the back seat. 

Is that a "dare" or maybe a challenge? 

In reply to Duke :

My interest would only be in a rust free & cheap one.  Would DD#2's car meet those criteria?

In reply to Indy - Guy :

Probably not.

I'm very curious if you had to back up that dolly / car combination. I used one of those recently and wasn't able to back that thing in a straight line even when I started out perfectly lined up. 
I have never had trouble with trailers large or small. Hell, I've even backed up large aircraft with no trouble. That dolly kicked my ass. I refused to give up for over an hour. Even had neighbors watching and laughing (and giving advice, which was worse than laughing).

Not a good time, my FIL can back up multiple grain wagons which articulate the same way but as much as I've tried I've never been able to back up a loaded dolly

I read once (probably on GRM) that you cannot/should not attempt to back a loaded dolly because [physics]. I did not fully comprehend the reason why and tried it once. I accidentally scrubbed years worth of tread off of one of uhaul's tires that way. 

Years ago I rented a tow dolly from a local rental store.  The guy probably told me five times not to try and back it.  Normally I would have taken that as a challenge, but do not remember giving it a shot.  

Does it count when the project is leaving the shop instead of arriving? Well, this one is headed to Atlanta.
 

Van.

I'm on a roll, another one leaving the shop!

The PLB RX7 followed us home!

Alright man, looking forward to the turbo Ute!

Besides the rust it's pretty nice, I haven't checked it out all that in depth yet. Usually don't til the title is in my name haha.

This is something you don't see everyday on a trailer - '71 SCCA vintage Pinto w/a Lotus Twin Cam in SoCal.  Have yet to see any footage of it running, but a nice build though... :)

Project engine coming home from machine shop. Had to drive 114 miles to get to a decent full service shop.

Name checks out

Same parking lot, same manufacturer, same color, 15 year spread

It's in the build and project cars area now called Dragon' it home.

Locost on the trailer heading to Seven gathering in Arkansas

I got tired of borrowing my MIL's minivan to carry odds and ends so I put $100 into a trailer hitch and wiring for the Saab and now I can move ALL THE THINGS!

-- or at least all the things that weigh less than 1k# (using her 1k# trailer) and less than 200# tongue

Sadly, tweaking on the exhaust pipe seems to have aggravated the recently barely-patched leak :/

My latest. 1979 900 GLE 5-door. Engine is locked up solid (a first for me on a vintage Saab), but an 8v Turbo should fit nicely in its place.
