Re: Fwd: 1979 jeep cherokee chief for sale in NC

[farna@xxxxxxx]

A much better idea: anyone on the list in the area? I'll donate $40 to the cause if someone will go down and give the truck a once over and run a new fuel line for the guy. To far for me or I'd do it myself! He's not asking for this, he's trying to find the truck a new home. I'd like to see it fixed to give him at least 2-3 more years of beach running before he is forced to sell it. Whoever works on it can leave him a number and ask for first dibs when he does need to sell. Any takers? I'll cross post this to the AMC Forum as well.
