No, no Michaell, you posted that someone told you a cable could not be made. That's who I was referring to, sorry. OK, I got you now. What's interesting is that the repair invoice is from the Cadillac / Buick / Pontiac / GMC / Subaru / Nissan / Suzuki dealership in Cheyenne. I guess there wasn't an independent repair shop in town that could (or would) do the work. I'll write up the ad and post on craigslist (both in Denver and Wyoming) and see what kind of hits I get. Perhaps I'll post a draft here (like q did for the Alfa) and have you guys comment on it. |

Here is my first draft; edit away: 1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster – $5000 This vehicle belonged to my wife’s step-father. He bought it a year ago with the intention of restoring and driving it. Unfortunately, he became too ill and passed away before completing the project and now my mother-in-law is selling it. The vehicle has the 134 cubic inch inline 4 cylinder engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. Less than 3000 of these vehicles were built for the model year 1949. Work that he has had done to it: • Major tuneup including new spark plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor and distributor • Full brake overhaul including new brake lines, front and rear brake shoes (drum brakes all around), all the brake cylinders as well as the master cylinder • New battery, fuel pump, fuel lines and fuel tank • All 4 wheel bearings Vehicle runs good and the body is in decent shape. The vehicle is located in Cheyenne, WY though I am fielding all calls to answer questions. Call Michael at xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Does anyone actually track a Z3? BMW 3 Series -- that's the problem exactly. The passenger is comfortable but the driver has a console digging into his calf and his left arm with no place to go.

Replying to: michaell (Nov 07, 2008 2:28 pm) Although I'd add a bit more about rust, personally, as that is the key to such a vehicle for me. What is "decent shape"? How is the frame, firewall, wheelwells, etc. Not that you have to list what is OK, but if there are concerning spots, I'd like to know. I know some would disagree with me here, though. Let the buyer come and make the determination. Again, though, I just hate someone telling me "the body is in good shape" and I come and find out it needs 2 new fenders and new floors. |
