Well,

 I was thinking I  would have time to work on this car and do a frame off restoration. Unfortunately,  that isn't going to happen.  My company keeps me on the road and since I won't be back semi-permanently until July at the earliest, unless I find another job I'll never have time to restore this thing.

 It's a 1972  4 speed, 350/300, numbers matching BASKET CASE !
 
 Everything is sound on it.  Not driveable at all. It was trailered in.  It's a prime candidate for a frame off.  All the original parts are there except the front bumper, wheels and maybe a couple things under the hood.

 I have the clear NC title.


  I bought it for $4600, I'd like to get my money back out of it or get close.

  I'll have to get the spouse to take pics.

Can't you have the wife put all the parts in a crate and have the Army ship it over to Kuwait for ya?
It would give you something to do in your spare time.LOL
 
Seriously, sorry to hear you won't be able to finish this. Stay safe.

 Spare time?  I've heard rumors of this thing ....

  I work from 0600-1800 everyday over here. Plus all the team lead stuff I do form 1800-0600.  I actually have had  two - 20 hour days since I've been here. And no, we don't get overtime.

  Yeah I wish I could keep it.

  Seriously though... wife took pics yesterday so. If anyone wants pics here they are....more to follow !

Well.....if I was really interested (man, it's tempting), I would need a picture of it's backside. Hmmmm, three days on the road with an empty trailer,,,,then three days on the road with a loaded trailer, my truck will get 14 mpg going empty and 11 mpg coming back loaded.....darn,,,,i'm just getting too old for this and i'm also without family support. Unfortunatly, my wife, son, daughter and her hubby just don't dig super-cool junk like this.........fools !!!    CoolRich
