After
I pulled the 232 6cylinder / automatic from my 32,000 mile Gremlin to make
room for the 401 / 4 speed going in, I decided that I really didn’t need it
laying around the shop, so I posted a ad on Craigslist, that anyone who
wanted could come by and get it for free. I figured that maybe someone could
use it for their project, or to just keep their AMC running, and it would be
better option than throwing it on the scrap pile. (You got to think
Green) I got about 20 e-mail responds the first day, so I figured I
would let the people who sent the 1st e-mail have 1st
shot at it. The guy called me told me he’ll be there at 10:00 sharp
Saturday, (2 weeks ago). He never showed, call him around noon, told me
he had to work and would be there a 10:00 Sunday, again he never showed,
called him around noon, and he told me he decided he didn’t want it.
The same story happen with 4 other guys. It was a total waste of time
so far. So I sent out an e-mail to all the other who said then wanted
it, gave them my address and told them that the first one there after 9:00 AM
Saturday gets it. I got e-mails back telling me that it BS and they
weren’t going to come out if there a chance that it could be gone.
(Note: I live in the city of Omaha, its not like I’m 50 miles out of
town). I did have a few phones calls, but again no one show up.
Then the kicker came last night when a Ass Hole sent me a e-mail telling me
he would take it, if I guaranty it to run. I sent him a e-mail telling
that if the Damn thing didn’t run, I would have scarped it out in the first
place, and that he could go to Hell, I’m keeping it. I would rather let
the damn thing sit in my shop, than gives it away.
You
would think that trying to give away a good running motor and transmission
wouldn’t be shut a pain in the ass. I will be a long time before I post
anything on Craigslist again.
If
anyone on this list needs either the motor or transmission, let me know, than
are free if anyone needs them, just don't mention Craigslist. I would
be willing to crate them up for shipping at cost.
Thanks
