Are you looking for my phone number or Tom Q's (the  person who has the car for sale)?

I posted the ad for him because Tom cannot post on here. Good luck.

Just received word from Tom Q. Due to health reasons he wants to get the car sold. According to his message, the price is now $2500 firm. I edited the original post to reflect this as well.

Tom has asked me to update the ad to include his phone number so here it is -

Does anyone know if this car has sold???  I tried calling, but no answer.

OK, I had a nice long chat with Tom today. Nice guy - I hope he finds a home for this car. It would cost me outrageous (near what it's worth) to have it shipped to me.

I'm now logged on thanks to FID, Barb, Mike K. and Chris.  Thanks for all of their help on here.  I can no longer work on the car, so hoping to find a new home for it asap.  Please call if interested, thanks.  tq

A standard rate, considering price of fuel these days, is between $2-3 a mile for commercial services.  It was not long ago that Mack boasted that their Maxidyne truck engines were breaking the 10MPG barrier on a regular basis.  Those of you with medium duty pick-ups (F-250 to F-350 classes) I'm sure can relate.

It has just been sold to a local gentleman.  I can't thank Barb, Lowell and Carl enough for all of their efforts, without that, this would not have been possible.  Thanks again.  Tom
