Beautiful.

I would rent a trailer and use a come-a-long to winch it onto the trailer. Lots of muscle work, but would be cheaper, especally if you have a long haul. You will need straps and chains to strap it down with.
Might also consider a two wheel tow dolly. hope this helps

It was in Georgia, I'm in South Carolina. It belonged to a very good friend.

No rock crawler - I'm a stock kind of guy. I'm keeping it as original as possible.

Beautiful machine!

my 73 has that same trademark rust spot under the door...

 

[69 Spring Green]

It's great being able to buy it from someone you know. That way you know what's been done to it and how it's been treated. Very nice restorer.

Congrats! I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I think that pic in the rear view mirror is Awesome! You're gonna love the 40.. then hate it for a minute.. but you'll figure it out & love it again pretty quick. Enjoy.

This is my 69 when I first got it home. I am now putting everything back together. Should be done by January 2012

Cool. Mind if I ask you questions from time to time, seeing as how we own sister ships?
