Need someone to look at a car

[Sailor Bob]

Hello fellow Classic Zers, yes that's right I'm sucking up. I recently located a 71 that is slightly damaged but according to reports roadworthy and not rotted out. I am now wondering if there is anyone in So Cal willing to take a look at the car to verifiy that is worth the time and effort of dragging it to Canada.

If the z is around the san diego area i'll take a look for you.

Where in So. Cal. ?

[sblake01]

I'm in San Bernardino. Where's the car located?

A car from SOUTHERN California to Newfoundland, Canada?

Wouldn't ENGLAND be closer?

J/K and curious, you're not really asking if it's worth dragging clear across the continent and well on your way to Greenland are you?

It had better be a sweet deal, but for that distance, why not ask RolfSis what she wants for her car. She's a bit closer.

England is closer ... when I live in Toronto my brother in law was on the rock (Newfoundland) and it was a shorter distance for me to fly home to Houston, Texas to see family than it was for him to go back home.

Sailor Bob, I hope the car works out for you, just be sure to get some good suspension, I hear the roads there are really bad ... I'll find out next year in July for my brother in laws wedding.

Hey Guys thanks for the responses. I am waiting to hear back from the vender, with details. It does appear to be a good deal but without a first hand look it's hard to commit. It's a 71 with some repairable fender damage. The lady tells me it runs great and what's there is original.

As to distance and driving - I've done it befor - the 280 came by rail ($$$$)

the 240 I drove home from British Columbia (Coast to Coast) wouldn't mind doing it again. But this one may be a rail job as well.

I'll post again when I have the address.

Hey Gregg where is your brother in law located?

He is in Halifax now (a ferry captain) but his wedding is in a small town called St. Jones Within which is north of St. John's. He use to live in St. Johns when he was going to school.

[Sailor Bob]

It's a small world - I lived in St. John's for many years I am presently just outside the City.

Just heard from the vender, turns out the car is in Redding - I guess thats just about as far Noth as North goes in California - sorry.

I saw some additional pictures and, both front fenders are damaged and the radio facia/heater is missing, but otherwise not so bad.

Anyone in that neck of the woods in the mood for a drive?

[sblake01]

I'll have to respectfully bow out. There are places out of state that are closer. Redding is about 600 miles north of me.

I completely get it - thanks for the response though Stephen.

I am wondering if I should open a new thread with the area in the header.
