    Small car towed / hauled $250
    Small vehicle towed to Memphis Tn.
    I need a 1971 vw beetle, towed to Memphis, Tn. These early bugs weigh under 1700 lbs.
    I have a VW tow bar specifically designed to tow a bug, it can easily be towed behind a car or truck, or you can trailer the car (which i prefer).
    The car is located in Round Rock, TX...8 1/2 hour drive from Memphis.
    I would pay $250 for the trip, you would have to take your expenses out of this amount.
    PLEASE, do not reply if you do not have a very reliable vehicle with proof of insurance and a valid drivers license.
    This car has alot of family history and if i dont feel comfortable with what i see and hear from
    you, its no deal.
    If interested, call Eric 901*818*2one8one



    This person must ride a bike everywhere.

    You've GOT to be kidding. 0.39 a mile? Can ANYBODY be THAT dumb?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    A round trip to deliver that is definitely not worth it. But, if he caught someone that was heading there anyway, it would be something to consider.

    Tis true. Still pretty cheap. Unless you have something to haul back there.

    LOL id lose money if i did this in my truck. At around 400 miles to a tank (shes a real pig) and about 150 to fill it, id be paying more in fuel than what id get from that clown. Good luck is all I can say.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Trailer in fair condition. Wood decking needs replaced but overall structurally sound. Frame and wheels in good shape. Tail lights work. Come and haul it it away yourself and it's yours. Text me at 567-202-5689 to arrange pickup.

    Me too, not sure why this would send up a red flag? People give away stuff that is in their way all the time. I've seen legit ads for cars for free- they are few and far between.. but they do exist!

    **Free Trailer**
    We are programmed to think "if it sounds to good to be true..." But someone did call my yard wanting to just get rid of a Pick Up Box Trailer and they gave them my number...even came with a title.

    This has been going around Facebook lately.



    I should start by saying that if you are looking for a “Pajama party Barbie Jeep” you my friend, should keep looking. If you are looking for a short description of to the beast before you, I can offer you two words “MEAT & POTATOES”. This is the All American chariot of the free world.

    You are not dealing with any ordinary, cookie cutter Jeep son. This thing was forged from a single block of all American Tungsten Steel. Real sturdy! From that day forward my life has never been the same. Winch yourself off that couch and see if you can handle this Jeep Wrangler Sahara.

    So if you are looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover keep on looking my friend this thing is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery.

    This baby’s pulse is pumping 4.0 liters of uncensored raw fuel through her straight six nuclear power plant. And rest assured this is no metro feminine automatic. . .you command her to obey, with your calloused hand planted firmly on the shifter. And she will obey, the first time, every time. If you can’t handle your stick shifter, or reach the clutch pedal, you better not ferry skip over here wanting to test drive her. If you stall her out, you can count on getting hit in the face with a piece of re-bar and sent back where you came from.

    It has A/C but are you kidding me….Really! If you want to blow the sweat off your brow, you do it the old fashioned way: doors off, top down. “What if it rains?”. . .You whiney *****! I told you to stop reading. . . Any man who drives this beast doesn’t give a **** about rain. Not even skin melting acid rain, Cause he’s already dripping wet in blood, sweat, dip spit, and fish guts.

    If you are looking for the kind of jeep that has to be pansy parked in the garage, so the “carpet doesn’t get wet and soggy” Then you should plant your Obama sticker on some Japanese piece of ****. Cause this thing has drain holes in the floor and rhino lined to let the blood drain out from the buffalo you just killed, with your bare hands. Because you are William Wallace from Braveheart and when you get home you can leave your “sissy sponge glove car wash kit” in the pink bucket it came in. Go ahead and spark up your 6000 psi heated pressure washer on the dually trailer in your man cave, cause you are Tim Gillespie and you can pressure wash your truck on the inside. She’s got rhino lined floors with a full roll cage in case that buffalo comes back to life while you’re doing 80 over some mountain pass or flooded river.

    If you’re thinking about Mexican chrome bumpers for her, think again. The bumper bashers come hand forged in a blacksmith shop in Franklin County over a wood burnin fire, out of 4 inch well casing, and railroad tracks and then I welded em to the **** chassis. That way if you get deployed you can piggy back this war wagon on a deuce and a half and chain her down tight from the four corners, so you don’t lose her when your convoy gets hit by a taliband roadside suicide bomber.

    And forget about putting one of those “It’s a Jeep Thing. . .You wouldn’t understand” stickers on this machine cause when you’re spotted in this American Classic there will be no questions, no further explanation required, people will understand and get out of your way. . …real quick.

    If you think you’re ready to park this panty hauler on your tract of land. If you buy this jeep you better go get your old lady ready for some **** changes around your lair, cause this **** will be happening. What will be Happening? Glad you asked….

    1. More chest hair.
    2. You’re growing a beard.
    3. Meat Only Diet.
    4. T-Rex for a pet.

    42. Jay Bisset.
    43. Welding stuff.
    44. Digging holes.
    45. Huge Piece of meat.

    Put your GPS back in your purse.

    Sounds good doesn’t it?

    This jeep has carried me through 155,000 miles of battlefield twice as gruesome as the second half of the movie “300″. . ..And just like a trusty steed this juggernaut has never left me stranded. If you think you’ve worn her out you drag this beast back to me in any condition. And Ill handle the rest.

    But if you think you’re going to get to whip this mule you better pony up Sixty Five Hundred Dollars. . .American Cash. I’m not selling you this car unless you are clearly a pure blooded American Species, so don’t even think about it.
