[QUOTE="VikingTrad3r, post: 337091, member: 2229"] I guess there is more to update. A deal came up on an 85 for my neighbours kid in Seattle. Neither the Z or the 85 4+3 runs. So i bought a 45 foot 18000 lbs trailer, used, that will hold both cars, and i’ll be heading down through spokane first to portland, where the Z is currently parked in a driveway, and then up to Seattle to pick up the 85. Then home. Likely take the state side road back through spokane and up through kingsgate to yyc. I also ended up getting ahold of the original owner. He was the last guy to drive the car, on the way to the dealership in Arizona where he traded it for a viper. That was in 2004. Somehow at that dealership, the engine piles up. Which is hard to do to an LT5. The car was auctioned off at verious dealer auctions after that, and sat for 20 yrs. Never ran other than whoever at the dodge dealership blew up the engine. The Dr who originally owned was at first weirded out that i tracked him down. When he realized i was sincerely interested in the history of the car, and that i know owned its decrepit remains, he was happy to tell me stories and pleased that i was going to fix it. The origin of the real delay….is that i bought that second non running vehicle and had to find a 45ft trailer to buy. …. and a truck to pull it. 😃 [/QUOTE]
