        location will be key, but I am certainly interested. I've got almost all the parts from Thunderstruck sold off so the garage is looking empty, and a Std has been on my list for a while.

                    I am in Wappingers Falls, NY. have p/u tk, and could transport, if not too far. Does it have a stock exhaust system, in decent shape?

                        Maybe he could beam it to Gabriola Island like they do on Star Trek.
                        I see a few other willing receivers from Canada.

                          Well I would take it too if it could be beamed here too... but alas too far for me to go and get it.

                              Hell yeah! It's only 2 days from here....

                              I wonder how much it'd cost to ship?

                              And do we have any kind, generous members close by who'd handle the details?
