Welcome Briz......

Maybe ol Gordo is looking for a pristine, low miles driver/show car...

If the one shown was a tad closer to home, I'd go take a look..!

Good one Roger...but not nice.

Mike ...That Texas Conestoga is about half the distance for you compared to my drive. Daaammmnnn....Fuel is getting spendy. Little too large to bring back on a MotorCycle.

Hows the Buell?

Mike, Al;

But that's why they have transport services.... As long as you don't need it quick and the seller doesn't mind storing it until the transporter company gets a full load in your direction?

So Cal, probably within a month. Alberta, "Where the hell is that?", Canada? By the time the transporter gets half a load to that area? You may be only hoping for the parts you were going to use to still be on the truck. More likely they will be left on the roadside, while in transport, after the Conestoga rusted away while waiting to be picked up.

Sorry Al but I couldn't resist. Ha!!! This actually happened to some poor soul I was trying to buy parts from. He bought one off EBay and it fell apart off his trailer on the 500 mile trip home. Always remember. "AS IS"? Means "AS IS"!!!

Roger.....

Yea...if it was my first one, and they were REALLY....hard to find...maybe a transporter would work.

But right now I'd need a yard like Rogers (the desert) to store everything. I'm overfull now.
I'm surprised my neighbors haven't complained about the "half" a Conestoga, on the trailer in my driveway...!
Free to anyone that wants it. The frame is good, the firewall is good...!

Free!....Luv the price but the question is Does it come at the same price with delivery? I promise to show some real Oilbertan hospitality.

What the hell; I had to ask.

Roger...We are starting to see the occasional transport truck up here but ya can still come to Edmonton and mush dog sleds down main street in July. At least that is what we tell undesirable imports. Present company excepted of course!
