You may have equities in your favor. If, for example, you have had a number of cars there for several years and no one complained and then all of a sudden they gave you notice to move them. Those equities would warrant more time for compliance with this order to remove them.

I am not as concerned about the time needed, as I am the place to put them should I not find someone interested in all of them. I have a friend that would allow me to put them at his place, with no problem with the city (off the beaten path in the county). I would still have to build a wooden fence to house them in, and that will be expensive. I have no problem with keeping them, but selling them off would be better. I just wish there was a way to get these cars to the "rust belt" states cheaper.......Rich

Oh Dang... I want that SDL but the distance is a killer...Do you have suggestion?

Ship the car... it costs about $1200 or so to ship a car from one side of the country to the other.

If you factor in airline ticket + 4 days of driving + gas/diesel + hotels + highway food.... the $1200 is not a bad price.

1990 300CE black with grey interior. I have a good 2.5 engine and a wrecked 300D for the donor wire harness and other parts. The car runs and drives, but won't pass smog. It has the M104 dual cam engine.

Sorry, I'm looking for an 88-89 with the M103.

For shipping cars, talk to Dieselpaul , he might have suggestions. And remember , $ 1,200 does not buy much in the way of rust repair on a rusty car that is local. Swapping engines , trans , interiors are much easier and result in a better never rusted car.
