Re: moving a car with no rear axle

[Skagdrager@xxxxxxx]

That's a sad story, Neal.
And one that you, and I, should take to heart. Given another 30 or 40  years, 
that could be one of us scrambling to pawn off a lifetime of  tinkering.
Sorry, I can't talk longer. I need to get busy on a car.

well, i  didnt want to come out and say it, but its a Brand X   and I
dont  have any parts for chevies,  its a   1959 Chevy  Brookwood
stationwagon and the guy will sell it for  35 dollars,it  doesnt have an
engine  and one axle is missing. I just need to figure  out how to get it
out of there.
this guys story is  SOOOOOOOOO  sad, hes got thirty years of  gearhead
accumulation at this  old farm out in the sticks, and he is moving,  so
it all needs to go before the buyer will buy it, so  he  needs to clear
everything out, clearly a case of  bad planning,  too many gearhead
dreams, and procrastination, hes got dozens of old  cars out there, and
hes so backwards, I dont even think he knows  what Ebay is,,  so sadly
the whole lot will probably end up  getting crushed, for pennies , > >
> >  theres also the  fact that in the 30 years hes lived there trees have 
grown up and cars that  were once accesible arent anymore, and the weather has 
turned here now, so  nobodies  gonna drive out in the sticks and  waste their  
whole  weekend trying to  yank an old car across a sheet of mud with a  
come-along, maybe except for a real nut- bag ( smile).
The guy must have been quite the gearhead in his day, hes even got
a barn out there with an oil change pit in it.
and hes  mainly Mopar, but  more 50s, early 60s stuff,  not in to
muscle cars.
If I had a  large warehouse , I would buy it all  from him, some stuff
is too far gone, other stuff is restorable. the  56 plymouth 2 door
wagon is definitely cool. He also has a   1965  383 fury two door ,
"100 bucks" he said.
i was  out there  yesterday too, and  there was something kind of  sad
to the  whole thing, the falling leaves and  cold fog  didnt help  and
i felt  rather melancholic as I  drive  down  his gravel road.
