Anyone want a "free" '78 (build date) FB?

I've got a '79 RX-7 (built in '78) that got towed, and to make a long story short, I don't want to bother getting it out becuase the #%(ing tow company is a bunch of ******. I'd be happy to transfer the title over to you if you want to pay the fees (around $300) in Southfield , MI. It's very low rust, would be great for a restore or a race car buildup. If so, eMail me.

Remember, some towing companies charge a fee
per day the car is there also. If this company is the
same, that price will climb to get it out.

Free being a somewhat relative term. Barwick isn't getting anything out of the deal, but $300 is $300...plus if it was towed in it'll probably need to be towed out. Might be able to bargain with the tow place though...I doubt they'd get much more than that selling it, especially with the Michigan rust creep...

Gee, I'd take it, but I won't be out that way until July . I'm sure you'll be able to unload that car rather quickly.
