He's not interested in a swap for my rustbucket SD-- "doesn't want another car..."
This will probably slip out of my hands-- I really have other fish to fry the next few weeks..
If I get my passat back on the road, and it's still around, I may try posting a craigslist ad for my 85 SD... That would raise the needed capital, and make space for it.. If I try to hide ONE more car in NW Ohio, I'm sure they'll confine me in a mental hospital...
IF it had a heated garage-- I would go willingly for the winter. I've got so many projects that need tied up..
If someone on the board IS interested, let me know-- I'm willing to go take a peek/pics.. I've had a thing for w123's since I was a teenager, and they were "new..."
