I think you set the bar pretty high with the long horns. I mean most guys can their dogs in a pic with there car, not sure how much more colorful or humorous we can get for a "casual" friday pic.

Lucky you I had the same instructions to my machinist, he botched it .... it got somewhat fixed but was preventable

She lives in the same town where my 69 Camaro was sold new, Plymouth Michigan. Must be some fountain of youth in that town, I have seen a handful of unrestored cars all from that town, and there original owners still driving them around. Good stuff

thanks for the response. So this is what I have figured out so far, even if you want grey hound to bus it to another destination you have to package it up in some way. The problem there is the seller doesn't feel comfortable unbolting the handle because there is a little more to it, than todays jacks.

Has anybody else had any experience shipping large items like a rear end ?

I see one problem with your photo.... your license plate number has X-77 in it, and clearly your car is a X-33....

funny what the brain notices..

Ok this is borderline Camaro related, but I have no luck trying all other avenues so I thought I would give this a whirl.

I have been looking for a specific vintage floor Jack (for use with my Camaro), and after many searches and posts on other boards I gentleman contact me who has this particular floor jack. We have a agreement on price, but for the life of me I have had trouble trying to arrange shipping.  *Since the floor jack is older, the handle doesn't come off real easy , and seller prefers not to dismantle it.
I can find guys that are able to ship it but the cost way exceeds the cost of the floor jack. So I am putting a call out to all the texans to see if anyone may be able to pick up the jack for me, and then we can put together a plan from there. The floor jack is located right by Houston, on the Katy Houston line.

 I am open to any and all ideas on this one.

Thanks guys

man, all that work.... You should have just re-stamped everything to match the car.....Just kidding Vince. What a story, kind of a sad story seeing how you had to part with the car in the end. Do you keep in touch with the guy you sold the car to?
