Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by SamIyam, Nov 13, 2003.

  1. There's a Model T tudor body I might be interested in that a Canadian is selling on e-bay... he's from Regina, Saskatchewan, CANADA...
    Sooooo, any Hambers from there?? Anyone know this guy? Anyone going to be traveling to the USA next year?? Maybe to Bonneville? Any other ideas?? Also, how far is Regina from the states??

    Figure out the details of getting stuff back across the border, and then take a trailer up there. Saskatchewan is like a Canadian vintage tin mine.

    There was a guy in Regina that offered me a 3 bedroom house with basement and garage for my 31 roadster when I had it on E-Bay. I wonder... [​IMG]

    I think Cword is about 500 miles west of there.
    Just drive up to Yellowstone National Park,and your almost there. [​IMG]
     
  9. Sam, Just checked the picture and don't recognize the seller or car. It would be pricey shipping it to CA. Pat

    I was going to suggest contacting Pat (fordnutz) and he's here already.

    If we can get a thousand pounds of Flathead parts from Calgary to Califonia via a hamb relay I'm sure we can figure out how to get a T from Regina to Bonneville.

    My buddy lives in Langley, BC and hauls cars, trucks and parts back from Saskatchewan every few months. He can haul it here for about $200. From BC to CA, we can get it down to you through HAMB members to Turlock. Send me a PM or email. Dave
     
  13. If you need somewhere to store it until arrangements are made I can haul it out to the farm. I am 40 minutes out of Regina. There are lots of west coast hambers if you can get it out to Vancouver. Going south from there should not be too bad for a relay. I go to the swap meet in Vancouver in the spring with a load of tin. Don't know until I leave if I will have room for it though as I may have a body or 2 to haul that way. Pat

    Thanks guys!

    Damn, I can talk like you guys... but to TYPE like you talk takes a lot of work!

    Anyway, it sounds like HairyCanary has a way to get it to Turlock... so I'm gonna run it past the wife... watch the auction... and see how it goes!

    Maybe we can arrange for a bunch of rowdy rodder/football fans to pick it up this weekend [​IMG]

  19. Sam, I just phoned the guy. I was going to look at it for you. Unfortunately, it isn't in Regina and he isn't either. He is in Prince Albert, about 2 hours north of me. We need to get Fargoguy to check it out. He lives there. I will see if I can get a hold of him. It is the grey cup weekend (our superbowl) in Regina and Evan may be staying here in MooseJaw at his parents to go to the game. I will check around. Pat
     
  20. Sam, got a hold of Fargoguy in PA and he will go look at the car. The owner returned my email and phoned me. I was concerned with the water everywhere in the pic. Says he had just hosed down the garage. Evan will check it out and let us know how good it is, then it is up to you. Evan says he can get it down here to my place. I am rite on the transcanada hwy so all the trucking passes thru here. Nutz
     
  21. Sam,if you get it we'll get it to you.I have a good friend who goes to modesto every 6 weeks with an empty trailer and truck.he hauled my ol'FED down there for me when I sold it.If Pat can't get it to the coast then I have another friend who goes to Sask and brings stuff back all the time.No worries bro we'll finger sumfin out.
    I'm overdue for a trip back down your way anywho........Shiny

    Okay guys, I went over and checked the T out this afternoon. Thankfully, it was outside and i could take some better pics of it in the Beautiful Saskatchewan sunshine. The guy had some other cool stuff in his yard, including a 26 T coupe, a 23 T coupe, a 29 A coupe and a really cool 55 Caddy Hearse. He was a bit protective of the other stuff, and didn't let me take pics of the hearse. Anyways, i emailed the pics to Sam, and would be happy to be the first leg of another HAMB relay! Fargo
