I have a red 1967 squareback for sale. It has a 1600 cc dual carb motor with a manual transmission. Registration is current for 2010. It runs, but needs work. The body is in okay shape with minimal rust, but there is widespread rust on the floor pans. This would be a good project car for someone with the time and money. I need to sell this really soon because I will be moving at the end of May. I'm asking $1000, but I will take pretty much any reasonable offer. The car will need to be towed. Serious buyers only please.

I hate red cars as a rule but that one is a honey.

You can always park it on the street!

that said, the logistics of getting it from here to Chicago might be a little tricky. then again it runs, so as long as it stops to you could always fly out and drive it back.

When Hammy uses words like 'care' and 'forbearance', I'd better heed. Still Manfred was looking for a beater squareback. I'd fly out with him and road trip it back!
