Headed out on a road trip to get the 90 car. I am driving to the the great state of New York for this one. Right near balmy Buffalo :eek:
Watching the weather very closly with the go bag by the door. If I can get a 24 hour period with temps above freezing I am going to try and get it back here to the SSP cave before the next round of snow flies.
Hoping to do it within the next ten days or so.

Have a safe "vacation" trip Jim, I sure don't envy the horrid winter driving conditions you guys face back there. We'll all be waiting to see what you haul back!

west of the mississippi. State agency that didn't use many. leaving in 7 hours to go get it. Going to get some sleep. Pics will be up on Tuesday.
Will post up more after it is on the trailer which will be in about 16 hours. Don't want to jinx myself.

I'm gonna guess Colorado, but I'm sure it'll be a nice find regardless.

I'm guessing AZ, NM or NV.

My guess is either Wyoming, New Mexico, or Nevada.

Good score Jim! Excellent documentation. Don't see that everyday!

thanks guys. These kind of docs are pretty hard to come by anymore. As the cars get older the agencies seem to have thrown it all away.
