Friends Don't Let Friends Pick Up Parts Cars Alone....

[vwlover77]

Not a VW Bus story, but it could be..... A very good friend of mine "revived" his 1994 Dodge Shadow V6 5-speed (a sleeper if there ever was one!) for his 16-year-old daughter a few months ago with a top-end engine rebuild and rust and body repair. They did a lot of the project together. Well, she got run off the road just two doors down from their house a couple of weeks back and hit a fire hydrant which did a lot of suspension damage to the right-front of the car. He would have junked it had it not been for all of the recent work to re-do it.

As luck would have it, he found another Shadow identical to his right down to the color on eBay in eastern New Jersey. It has engine problems, so he snagged it for $250.

So, this Saturday morning at 5:00AM, we'll be hitting the road for a marathon drive from NE Ohio to Jersey to put it on a dolly and drag it home behind his Durango. We hope to be sleeping in our own beds Saturday night, so wish us good luck and godspeed!!!!

He promises me if I ever find a Bus for sale that requires a road-trip and/or drag-home, he'll be there with his Durango. What better payback could I ask for???
