If I remember correctly, Grass Valley is near Lake Tahoe?  That would be quite a trip for me, but I may have to just plan on it soon.  I can't see this car going for scrap, and I won't let it happen on my watch!  I will do my best to save it....Rich
Closer to Reno. It's 90 miles west of Reno and 65 miles east of Sacramento on I-80  :eagle:

I loved Reno and Lake Tahoe when I went years ago. Took a tour of the western T.V. set they have by the lake.

My favorite place I have visited so far is Lake Tahoe between Christmas and New Years 1999. So still and quiet. All we could hear was the lapping of the water on the shore because the air was so thin and cold sound didn't carry very far.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

I am getting shipping quotes to bring it to the midwest, I will gladly get it out of your driveway if they do not want an arm and a leg.

I hope the car is saved, but if you or the new owner have no need for the A/C parts, if the car is eqiuipped,  I would like to buy the parts, I'm located in San Jose, CA, so I can pick up the bits.

The car will get repaired, and put back on the road, not parted....Rich

Well it's Monday evening and I have the trailer hitched up and the truck full of fuel.  I will be leaving Hesperia about 4:20 am Tuesday.  I hope to arrive in Grass Valley about noon, and I will get some photos of loading and such.  Stay tuned.......Rich
