*ALERT*ALERT* HAMBer Needs Help On The Side of the Road in INDIANA!!!

Here's your chance. Hotrod34 just introduced his friend to the HAMB last night. He (Tony) just picked up a '53 Chevy outside of Gas City Indiana, and he's broke down. ANY Hambers that could go give him a hand would be appreciated. He's at the intersection of Indiana Route 22 and Meridian Road just across the street (and I'm not kidding) from the funeral home. His name is Tony, ph#847-980-6658

I'm headed to Gas City but won't arrive 'til late Friday afternoon. Does he need anything ?

 

Nudder bump for the indiana HAMB road crew

 

This is supposed to be a "good running" car that he bought from the four letter word. (e@!*y) Anyway I don't know what his plan is.

Thanks for looking and offering to help.

I think for the time being the car will sit in a safe place. But as I said earlier I don't know if he will try and get his money back from the seller. If not he will most likely need trailer transport to Chicago, or maybe a piggy back ride to Indy, then to Michigan City, then to Chicago. Who knows?

Thanks,

Adam

 

what is wrong with the car? why did it break down?

 

He was comming to a light and it died. He could not restart it. Also he said the carb was leaking at the throtle shaft. Unfortunatly that is all I know.

 

Just saw this. Call me at 317-861-1919 if I can help.

 

Unclescooby, thanks for the offer. Tony drove down there with a friend and they are on there way back to Chicago now. The next step will try to arrange a trailer. He is tring to contact the person he bought the car from but has not had any luck yet. I guess they were visiting someone in the hospital tonight so that is why they are not answering their phone. I will keep you updated, if a trailer is needed we will need help to arrange one.

Thanks,

Adam

 

I am halfway between Indy and Chicago if he needs to keep it somewhere for a couple of days!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know what is going on.

 

First I want to thank every one who looked and offered help. I just talked to Tony and we need to find a way to get the car from Gas City to Chicago suburbs. If any one can help locate a trailer and would be willing to get the vehicle at least a part of the way to save costs please contact me or Tony.

Thanks for all the help,

Adam

 

According to Mapquest, that's about 185 miles or so.

Neither of them have AAA Plus? (I'm sure they would have thought of that by now, though).

 

i think i'm about 4 hours from Indy and about 3 from Chicago. it's not exactly "on my way" but if all else fails i have a trailer and i would help out if he covers gas and maybe a Big Mac or two for the road.

just PM me if i'm needed.

 

Thank you for the offer I PM'd you. Your about 3 hours from the car it is in Greentown, In.

 

triple A plus only covers 100 miles i think, but i guess that would help, then the other 85 miles would be like 3 dollars a mile i believe.

 

Tony does not have AAA so he's boned

 

That really sucks. I'd be 10x more the nervous wreck that I already am in my '55 if not for AAA!

Norton, I think that they give you 400 miles per year, and 100 per call. So, I've never done it, but if you've got enogh time on your hands, you can get the first 100 miles, then have them drop you off wherever, then call them back. Or so I am told.

 

My friend Bob owns a car dealership in Greentown Indiana if you want him to look at it? He's a hot rodder too.

 

it's 2a.m. I'm on my way to work will bet off around noon If I can help call me 317-714-3922

 

This is great news how can we contact him?

 

Thanks for the offer!

 

BTTT for a guy with a trailer and some spare time!

 

btt

 

hey guys, this is tony, the guy with the stranded '53..thanks for all the offers of help and suggestions, i really appreciate it. I think im gonna just try and trailer it back to chicago if i could, because even if i get it running again, i dont trust it to make the 190 miles or so back until i can completely go over that thing. so thats where im at right now. Thanks again

 

I sent you a PM with Bob's cell number in Greentown. He should be able to help you out. If you need me, just let me know. Bob's good people.

 

thanks unclescooby, i really appreciate it...

tony

 

any idea what is wrong with it???
