Im working with a new shipper. I only have a three day window this week to get it picked up due to the seller going out of town. More than likely it will get picked up next week. The anxiety has to be killing you..... Have the seller leave the car in a neighbors garage ? Can't wait to see pics !

Brett had one shipped from out west to Maryland pretty reasonable, I don't remember the company that done it though. try these guys: http://www.go2transport.com/ Thanks. I'll give these guys a call. I called Horseless Carriage and Reliable, but both give a window of anywhere from 4 -7 weeks for pic...

I'm gonna guess these are sold - I got no reply either from the guy

So. Turns out the 93 Teal that i purchased with half the motor ripped out WORKS. It took me a month to put it all back together, but it starts and runs.
