Well,it's a week+++ later....call me if you still haven't found it.

Pics???????? This is the Carlisle thread,right?

Enjoy!

You wanted to buy everything at one time or another. Patrick PM'd me first,and Andrew was supposed to handle the dealing.He claims to have sent two checks....the rest is recent history.We wanted to buy it months ago too.I hope you understand that as far as we're concerned that car should be here already and should have been at Carlisle,but plans don't always fall into place like you expect. I'm just amazed that you and Andrew have such interest in cars I saw when I was like 11 years old and you guys were like.....still twenty years down the road from birth.

I talked to your mom over last weekend.I never called her back,sorry.Andrew has his story and I'm sure you have one too.Bottom line is he wants the ff1 for sure and is planning a west coast trip soon. Thanks for keeping it covered.Gotta be some bees in there now,but that's cool.One of us will be talking to you or your mom soon. Thanks, Paul

OK,but I'm not sending gaskets without being paid. Jerry,sorry,but I whacked your post. This is not the forum for a group buy for '80-84+++ ,sorry bud.Get one going for the Gen II Brat over in that forum.I think you might not need to though.Has to be a small stash of later produced gaskets out there for those cars.Maybe.

It's about 15 miles from me and I've never seen it before!!!Un-freakin-believable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've contacted the guy and will be venturing down to look it over soon.

Congrats! And don't worry about the FrankenSubie comment. Like I said,that's seems to be mostly in the 4WD wagon.Mine is a little weird too,but I'll never complain. We found many stipe kits in the stash THAT I'M BUYING...with Andrew and Charlie from CT.

Jerry is God!!!!!!!

Pics?????????? I never even took my camera out.I heard from Andrew that he can take about 400 shots with his card/camera.....WELL??????? Next year I really think you guys are going to see one of my cars with shiny paint.The '73,I hope.

My FSM says only the 4door DL got the 5speed manual.But we do know that '78 was the year of Frankensubies,mostly in the wagon catagory though,it seems.

This is going to cause some "family difficulties",I can just tell. :-\ I might be taking the DIP!!!!

hahaha,I dozed off and Todd replied....not I know I've gotta sleep. g'nite boys.

Just PM'd you telling you to search for the old brouchures... You're fast! A 2door std. was only available in manual 4spd.The DL was 4spd or automatic. Std. does not have the cover between the body and bumper. Std. came with no radio. Probably a couple other differences...too tired right now.

All depends on the condition of it.

Home safe! Turbo golf carts,they must have been turbo golf carts....yeah,that's right. :-p well,thanks John for that lead on the barn stock.It should help my '73 some. Thanks Matt and all you guys. East Coast Hard Cores!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys and gals with cars built after 1977.There just isn't much at all for you folks.But keep reading,please. Most of the stock is '72-74,5...up But really,it's about 90% 1971-74 :-\ There is some ff-1 stuff and a few 360 items. For the Stage II '77 thru '79 car owner and up to '81 Brat there are just a few fenders.I think it was two passenger,one driver's,and maybe one or two more that were slightly buried.Not much else I'm sorry to report. ***No 1600 Y-pipe exhausts either,but there are 2wd rear sections and I saw a 2wd midpipe or two on the floor. ***No 1800 exhaust at all from what I saw.

OK,I understand. Hope you didn't wake up with hamburger head. I'll call you over the weekend.I want to hit a diner near the Motel 6 on H'burg Tpke where Luc and I are staying.Let me know where the good ones are.Thanks.

OK,I added you to the MS Word document I made. If anyone wants the file in Word just email me and I'll send it to you.Easy to print.I already did the work of compiling the names with the items without all the crap. My copy is in my travel bag and will be busy this weekend.

All I ask is that you please be totally realistic and give a reasonable date by which you should be paid.If you tell me you need three months or less I'm cool with that.But come the fourth month you might see me listing the remainders on eBay.I'm not trying to be threatening.It's just that I can't afford to put out money for nothing. You are totally welcome to take some time.Contact me personally so we don't have to air the laundry in the front yard. Don't forget that shipping will probably make it around $40 or so for you,so set that much aside,not just the thirty beans and change,please.Sorry,don't mean to play mom. You got that wagon,now I want to see you make it enjoyable.:-p

My son wants to play chess.We'll probably bring one of our sets.But thanks for offering.I'm sure if there's something interesting he'll take part in it. I think playing catch with a hardball by the Saab group would be ideal.:-p Send him off there with some other young ones."Hey,you kids need a bat?":grin: We're at the Motel 6 on H'burg Tpke for both nights. See you guys on Saturday. Check my other post on Camping/stayover and let me know if you want to meet for breakfast.Or if not,let me know if there's a good diner around where I'm staying.Connie will know,but she's feelin' groovy right now and probably horizontal for the night. ooops , sorry to go off topic here.

Well,we made it official. We are booked at the Motel 6 Harrisburg....which is on Harrisburg Tpke juust three miles from the Carlisle Fairgrounds. Kind of tough on the budget right now,but worth it in the long run.The rainy weather combined with the seasonal pollen spew has had my son suffering.Even with sleeping in a car it's just too nasty for him. Checking in late tomorrow night. Matt,I'll call you anyways just for kicks. See you guys on Saturday. Who's doing breakfast and where????? Wanna meet early Saturday at a diner??

Wow,cool,you'll be there in the morning....you're our hero!! I might switch to a cheapy hotel.Son's alergies,dampness making a soft dry bed a nice choice.

Actually,I you can drive my '89 Touring Wagon if you'd like to. Or take the day off and come down here and change the fuel pump and filter on the GLF Just kidding,I know it's short notice and we all need the paycheck as fat as possible. I am taking the '78,chancing it.I'd LOVE to have my '89 along too.My friend from work backed out of going. We do kind of want to get going fairly early,but probably won't leave the area untill 6:30-7 knowing me. 6 o'clock would be better,but the weekend traffic stinks.... so I expect it to be a long first half of the trip,we'll see.Let me know if you want to go with us,but I don't know how to get two cars up to your place....details,details....well,if Tommy can drop you off...?? We'll talk.I'm going to call you real soon.Almost free time.
