DANG

I was thinking about buying this until I saw it was 1978. unless it is 75 or older I can't register it in CA.

about the towing thing. If someone wants it you can fly out ret a uhaul truck and drive it into the back. I have done this with WWII jeeps. works great.

I had a WWII jeep delivered from ca to texas a few years back it was 700 bucks door to door on auto transport.

1975? That's odd - every other state only has to be 25 years old. Figures...

Left coast is different. Something to do with C.A.R.B.

A classic can be driven anywhere. Just not a good idea to take a long trip in a car you don't know well.

I'd just hate to hear of it dying in the middle of the desert somewhere, lol. I say check out shipping costs - my zip code is 44224.

If it doesn't go through eBay, I'm going to contact you directly. Do you save any money if the car doesn't sell, and you don't relist it?

I only save money if it does sell. I'd rather not have it up a 3rd time, hehe. If it does sell, I get my $55 back, only have to pay for the first auction.

Hotelcalif - teehee. At least you know its a good deal! This won't be my last classic - I'll buy another in the future once the flag car is paid off again - one in better shape.

I'm going to chat to the credit union tomorrow. If I was to buy it, could it stay at your place for a couple of weeks till I could get there on the 14-day advance plane ticket?

Sure, though we'd need to work out some sort of payment arrangement. And you're not going to drive it all the way to Vegas, are you? That's taking quite a chance...

After much soul (and financial) searching, I hit the "Buy it now" button.
The Mini is moving to Vegas! Look for it at AMVIV 3.
