EX-NYer'

As an ex-new yorker I can appreciate what winter and more specifically the road salt can do to these great cars......as a matter of fact, when I left NY in 1979 it was in my 1966 SS ragtop. I saved that car from the ravages of the weather back east. Anyway, if any member is interested in purchasing cars off Craig's list, I would be happy to put eyes on before purchase. But within reason, I live in the central Valley, pretty close to the middle of the state, and it's a BIG!!!! state. What prompted me to make this offer , was the amount of Oldmobiles out here on craigs' for reasonable sums. My background has always been mechanical-----from the Navy (aviation machinsts mate), LA dept of Water and Power , City of Atwater, Dept of Corrections as a Mechanic.
I build motorcycles and cars...oh yes, I'm retired so I have spare time. Just a thought.

Well that's mighty kind of you, and I'm sure we all appreciate it! Winter and the salt on the roads suck!! I hate to drive my Intrigue every day in the crap, but have no other choice. I do try to wash her as often as I can to get the salt off. It will soon be time for the classics to start coming out of the garages again!! I can't wait!!!

They've got this new salt water concoction in CT that they pre-treat the roads with. It is brutal on the undercarrage.
Nice of you to offer.
Another post has a map you can post your location, and that your willing to look at cars, so people can find you easier.

Thanks for the offer! My garage is unfortunately full right now so I don't have room for another one. But I'll keep it in mind.
