  • SO I found a cheap festy, low miles

    But it's 250 MIles away, one way. seller says that It has "No spark", and that it died on him while driving one day...

    So, Dizzy? Fusible Link? what do you guys think?

      Something similar happened to me when I first got my project festy running. Died on me driving down the road. Traced it down to the ignition switch. Go get that bad boy!

          if you can do a 500 mile trip, you might be able to pay for a 40 trailer from u-haul. make it happen! Dont think of your self, think of the Festivas!!!!!

          In the 90's we had Clinton in office. We also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama in office and we have no Hope and no Cash.

          This is NOT an abandoned vehicle

            Rented my dolly from U-haul for 36 plus tax, less than 40, have use of it for a week. Not that much. Course, the Festiva I'll be picking up this weekend is less than a 250 mile round trip. Could be doable, Not sure what you mean by 'cheap', but could definitely be worth the time if it's something simple. Guess it all comes down to your means, and whether you want it or not. If nothing else, put up a location, someone else on here might be closer to it. Could either let them get it, or help you out getting it home. Good Luck, whatever you decide.

                  Less than 40.00 for the U-haul covers me for 48 hours, anything over that is extra, but it'll be picked up and dropped off same day. Hope someone on here saves it from the crusher.
