PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY DREAM CAR

[polywideblock]

glad you found the one for you      hope its all you want 

[EccentricMagpies]

Where is it.

I can have my trailer hooked up and be gone in ten minutes.

Hopefully it is a longer drive for you then!  But I doubt it.

Just teasing the kid.

Seven is enough.

Same here, maybe we taught him to jump instead of asking every joe for an opinion lol

Ha you guys have taught me a lot more pictures and stuff video should be up later I will hopefully be going to get the car this weekend 

Very cool.  Look forward to it. 

That car is probably only 2 hours away from me so if you need any help with anything let me know.

Perfect thank you very much I should be good but if anything happens I'll let you guys know

This is what I just got to texted

Are still interested? I need to take the ad off...I'm getting texts and phone calls at all hours of the day. I'll knock enough off the car to cover your trip

[EccentricMagpies]

He is asking you if you are still interested?

You are sure this isn't a scam right?   Be careful.

I'm sure he sent a recent video with the engine out and everything he has pictures of the car on a ice racing website and his car was featured in some magazine that I haven't looked up yet 

He's a older guy that doesn't seem to use technology much so mabeay he doesn't know all the selling lingo? 

[EccentricMagpies]

Well, at least it isn't a lil old lady who only drove it to church and back.   That one has been over used

i searched "68 charger ice" on google 

[familymopar]

Is it done?  What did you tell the guy when he texted?

[F8-4life]

I remember that car craft article because the 68 charger pic stood out.
Cool that its the same car. Seems like the guy has alot of interest if he wants to delete the ad already.
Hopefully you get it but remeber, cash talks bs walks.

That is very cool seeing the car in that article makes me want to buy it even more

And I've got cash and am ready to go so let's see what I can do 

[Benfro89]

Guys im kinda in a bind do you think I should drive up and get the car myself or fly up and get a shipper to bring it back? What would you guys do? Thanks guys

[Ghoste]

Drive up and get it.

[Benfro89]

Drive up and get it.

That's what I want to do but my dad is leaning the other way out of curiosity why would you drive?

[70 sublime]

How long is the drive for you ?

Can it be done in one day round trip or

If it takes you too long to drive someone else could get there first

If flying is free why not

If you can not find a shipper you could still make the drive if you had to

Well it will be about 13 hours I am getting the trailer ready tomorrow and heading off tommorow so I believe as of now I'm driving

What precautions would you guys take when trailering the car and the engine

Where are the best places to
1 cum along the the car up the trailer
2 tie down the car

And lastly how would you guys transport the engine buy a harbor freight stand? Build a stand when I'm thier out of 2*4 and a pallet use a tire ect



Thanks for the help guys all of this is comming ip a bit fast so it's great to get you guys help  

This doesn't look too bad http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200460832_200460832

I wish I could have but I had school and as of now I can't leave but I can leave tomorrow night and the owner is working with me and holding it for me

[Daytona R/T SE]

Tire without a wheel works good to transport an engine. 

Free... and it works.

[Grim Jhaixus]

an empty tire should do you fine on engine transport.

When you have the strap in hand and look under the car you'll have plenty of choices. my favs are lower control arm up front and axle out back.

just remember to tuck yourself into your underwear band before you sit in the drivers seat the first time, you'd hate to get a chub in front of your dad.
