A guy doing a restoration on an XJ-12 just looked at it and is fairly certain he will be taking it as a donor car since it is far more sound overall than the one he's been working on.

Interestingly, the plan includes repowering it with a Benz diesel.

That is awesome, always great to sell an item that can be put back into use by another. If he does finish the project, it would be cool to see how it turned out. Try and get some pics from the guy when he is done and post them.

I've thought about asking him to send me some pics.

heck, if he gets it done, I'll stop by on a trip out there and do a story on it if he's willing.

We'll see.

I'll just be happy to get final confirmation that they are taking it tonight or tomorrow.

The car would be going to Allentown.

right near my grandmother.

I'll let you know what happens.

Hopefully this will mean an end to the crying jags you've been suffering from. Good news.

I got phone confirmation today that they intend to take the car. It should leave by the end of next week - hopefully sooner.

The guy promises to send me pics of the project.

Good news indeed!

Congrats! Sell the Jag and the Tahoe and you've got some Mothertruck project money...

Yeah, something like that.

Plus, I now will have room to work on Mothertruck.

It requires serious acreage when you have things apart.

Does he know Russian?

Congrats!

LOL@ Z

No, he doesn't know Russian, but we had a good laugh over it while he was checking out the car.

Thanks for the good wishes, this has been a long time coming.

You took the thought right out of my head!!

But now that means I need to step-up my lottery ticket buying so I can afford to have Camino do the Mothertruck how I want it

Hurry up and win, Roger!

I'll have to make sure there's enough leftover to buy a GMC grille, emblems and other trim from LMC Truck to convert it over

Shouldn't be a problem since I have an NOS grille, fender emblems, and horn button you can sell to the Chevy guys!

Still waiting for the guy to get down here and pick-up the Jag - waiting is getting a bit old.

At last!

It is gone.

Congrats on getting rid of the Jag and getting cash in your hand

Thanks.

It was like pulling teeth to get it done, but the car is gone at last.
