Arizona is only hot in the summer, actually many of parts of it are freezing cold in the winter.

I'm sure I could rustle up a few here in TN. I have a few leads for when I sell mine. Problem is, they rust no matter where you live.

What's your price range/condition preferences?

I'd like to find a straight body with no rot on it, no rust bubbles. Don't care if it runs or has no title or other issues.

Actually I think I am on one in Arkansas, a guy I know that does some really cool stuff has one. He made this:

I don't know what I am going to do as far as getting out there but I doubt it will be in a vehicle big enough to haul engines. If I ride out rather than fly it will probably be in the rabbit donor car. I may be going to the SF Bay area to get a vehicle and using it to haul a caddy roller back here. If I go to SF then I take I-80 all the way home, if I go to Socal or AZ then I would be going by you on I-40. Someday I may take you up on that place to flop offer buddy lol  ;D

Be careful, laws about towing are much stricter here in California than in other states, you can't tow a trailer without trailer brakes if it's over 500 lbs. and I don't think you are allowed to flat tow a car with another car either. The CHP has been on everybody's case since the state ran out of money. Not that I care, I just don't want to see you hassled, I would only do it on a late sunday night.

i can not fit in a caddy at all, no matter what i try. recaros or corrado seats, either way i dont fit.. cant recline the seat back far enough.. either one of those 2 modified caddies would be TITS tho.. that 4 door one is too long for its own good tho.. it reminds me of a limo..

i got scirocco seats and it makes a huge difference. i'm not that tall though, only 5'10". short shifter is a must, especially with a passenger. good luck getting one!

I found a couple of Rabbit trucks in the SF Bay area. Going to drive I-80 all the way from New Jersey to SF in an 82 Rabbit donor car. Anyone along the way close to I-80 want to meet up? I'm bringing camping gear looking for a safe place to pitch a tent.  ;D
