Yep, I do. Clean it the best you can, then bring to my shop. You need to seal it up airtight, then we'll run an ozone generator in it for an hour. Let it air out for 15 mins and you'll be good to go.

You've said it quite well. There can be some difference, and a mechanic working on an exhaust is going to definitely notice it. But as you say, how much difference in value to the average buyer? Some difference, yes. Such a big difference to make it worthwhile to transport the cars to Ohio from the South, well ........ perhaps or perhaps not. Back in the 60's and 70's it was a really big thing with used car lots. They advertised the fact that they bought only at Southern auctions.

My 2 cents' worth: Thirty to forty years ago, getting a Southern car was a much bigger deal than it is today. Back then, one main reason for buying a new car every 3-4 years was that the bodies rusted through so fast in states using salt in the winter. The more modern cars can remain nearly rust free far longer now if you do some basic cleaning year-round. So, the difference in price in the same car used from Ohio and from Georgia used to make it well worth it to transport the cars here. Today, it seems that how the car was maintained makes a much bigger difference in prices compared to what state it was used in. I'm not saying that I want to buy some rusty old car, just saying that where the car was kept for its first 5 years doesn't make quite as big a difference in price today as it did when your dad was younger. Buying a 1940's through 70's car? Makes a huge difference if it's been in Arizona and not Minnesota. Also, with stretch limos (which tend to get rust in the coachbuilt parts), it still makes a big difference if it was used in the salt. On the flip side, an older classic pickup truck is worth far more in the South than it is in Ohio. Just a lot more demand for them there. With the widespread use of eBay Motors and similar online sales, the differential between the value of a vehicle from one region to another has lessened compared to what it was just a decade ago.

I'm pretty sure it's a 900 number anyway

Arthritis car show was great. :thumbup: Stop by and say hi to the CR sponsors there (Brady from Pickups Plus is in the Mustang area, Todd from Esoteric is next to the Ferrari section). It's nice to have shade nearby on a day like today.

I'll be bringing the brave little Viewt.

I made it out around 1:00 and there was a good crowd there. I wasn't sure who you were, so I apologize for not introducing myself. The food and cars were great. I walked through the shop on a tour and was very impressed. I parked the Viewt along the building to the right of the canopy. I didn't see any activity around your Dad's car while I was there. It's a shame that whoever bumped it didn't say anthing. Igor was just arriving as I was on my way home, but he didn't park on that side either. He was the only other CR member I saw. Thanks for the invite. You've got a great shop.

I know of a certain JDM GT-Four WRC which is for sale to the right two people. You are one of those two.......

Mmmmmmm. LOVE COOKOUTS I'll stop by with the Viewt and I'll let you detail it for free.

An inspired concept and impressive in execution. I'm not saying I want this car, but I'm envious that you have crafted this yourself. You're full of surprises, Anson.

Many of us had connections to this store .... some had their livelihoods from this business. My thoughts and prayers go to all those affected. http://www.chillicothegazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201007060730/NEWS01/7060303 And an update from Wednesday: http://www.chillicothegazette.com/article/20100707/NEWS01/7070306/All-Terrain-Sports-begins-rebound-from-fire

I was out and around quite a bit today and it seemed like everything that is usually open on Sunday was open. It surprised me how much was open today but closed Monday.

Well, it was, hands down, the fastest Viewt at the event.

Great intro, and I really like the Impale 'ya. I don't recall seeing either car around town, and I'm pretty sure I'd remember the Impala. I hope you can make it to some CR track days and meets. + rep

I was at Autocross around noon .... not many cars today. No shade to be found, so I wasn't around long.

Another beautiful morning See you all at Block's in a few hours! :ta:

For anyone wanting to avoid Red, White & Boom, this is the week again for Fast & Furious at Quaker Steak on the patio beginning at 7 p.m. It's been averaging 20-30 cars, although four weeks ago there were 60 cars. About half of the people attending are from CR. I plan to be there and then will head out to the Sawmill Ricer Fest. Anything else going on tonight?

Time for the Brave Little Viewt to strut its stuff

Great intro. Welcome. I hope you can make it out to track days/meets. + rep

Everyone's kind words are appreciated, but 10 minutes' worth of work doesn't make me deserving of "CR Sainthood." :gtfo: There are many, many people associated with CR (members, mods, significant others) who do a lot of work openly and also behind the scenes to keep alive the CR events and the street car scene in general. My hat's off to those who have contributed in the past and to those who continue to contribute. The friendships and experiences I've had because of CR have enrichened my life. Thanks! :thumbup:

Thanks Kevin and organizers .... a fun and delicious event

Steve can interview you and use your data to personalize a program/diet specific to your goals. Highly recommended. :thumbup: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/member.php?u=3365 and http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74572

I'll take the roll category, for five hundred, Alex. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/deathcabforkris/myspace%20stuff/jeopardy-starting-board.gif

Welcome to CR. Good job on the truck. Is it a '63? Any mods done or planned? I hope to see you out at some CR events this summer. + rep
