John,
Well the good news is, my wife already has a 3.7L Liberty with tow
package. I tracked down a low flatbed I can borrow. Now I am trying to
figure out where that barn is. I have some leads now, but that is the
most difficult part at the moment. I will post picts on the web for you
all to look at and give some feed back on. This should be an
interesting project.

Carl,
I am not ruling that out as an option. Never been up to WA, but have
been meaning to. If I do decide to
sell it off, I will let you know.

so that could give some indication.

Thanks,
