Sure, no problem. Yes, the buyer has only seen a few pics and read most of my 26,000 posts

Bill be careful on how cheap it really is... I'd pay a few bucks extra, even a few hundred extra to make sure the goods get there unharmed. I had a friend of mine ship his rare Camaro (Original Yenko car) from TX to somewhere up in the NE and it got there missing a lot of unreplaceable original parts, as well as both back tires being just about burnt the F off of it. so watch your 6 through this process.... most shipping goons have no respect for nice stuff.

Yeah, I'm sure. Don't scare me...or the buyer too much

I'm looking at using DAS at this point.

If the buyer wants I will load a tune that will cut the engine over 3000rpm or 65mph. That way it's drivable for transport but not able to burn tires or really joy ride.

more like 2000 and 40mph IMO.... I have one of these tunes for my truck and its nothing special. last time I left the truck somewhere for something I loaded it and when I went to pick it up I got the "something's wrong with your truck man" BS... I explained that it was this way before I left it and that the shop owner was the only one who was to move it (back when it was turbo'd) on top of the tragedy, I dont want the liability of some kid getting in it for a joy ride and killing himself, and me end up being served papers over it. The vast majority of drivers think theyre Richard Petty, when in fact theyve never sat on top of 250hp, much less 5-600+... just things to consider

sure that makes sense and is just as easy to do. I was thinking 3000 so if they had to drive up a ramp they might need to go higher due to the converter.
