<VV> picking up car in denver

[Dave Thompson]

Timothy,
Just a thought...
I purchased my 63 Spyder vert from Florida and I live in California. I
searched the internet and found a furniture company that moves furniture
from California to the east coast. They come back to the west coast with
whatever they can haul. They put my car in the front of a box semi trailer
along with who knows what. Upon arrival, they had a flatbed tow truck take
the car out and onto my driveway. It cost me $1000.00. I'd bet you could
find a mover to move the Corsa for less than you could drive up to get it.
It's worth looking into. Good luck with the  62 wagon trip. I always wanted
a Lakewood!

Hey All,
   I am on my way to Denver this weekend to pick up the first of the 2 cars
I bought. I will attempt to drive the 1962 Monza wagon. The seller, Jim
Reich, swears it was a very good running car when he parked it in 2000.It
has a 1965 "RD" engine along with a 4 speed My intent is to go up with 2
rebuilt carbs, 6 spark plugs, new points/condensor, a new seal and filter
for the fuel sender unit,a new battery,new fan belt, and a fresh oil change.
I feel confident I can bring her back to Durango (about 350 miles) with not
too much trouble. Wish me luck.Then I will figure out how to get the other
car, a 1966 Corsa Coupe 140 towed here. It's been sitting for 21 years but
it has a lot of neat stuff (factory headrests, AM/FM, tele column, A/C,140,
Sag 4 speed with positraction). I'll keep you all posted on the adventure.
