    Thank you...lol :D i hauled 3 cars from TN to Ky (home) like that and never had a problem, but this one only traveled 9 miles from it's previous home so i wasnt worried about it. not to mention it was in Park with the parking brake applied as well

    Great parts car! It must have been a nice car in it's prime. Reminds me of the '72 LDO parts car I bought. If I was closer, I would like to have the motor. You should do well on parts from this one.
