Somehow I have to think that you're going to regret this.
Can we come up with a "Save Patton's Spridget" initiative? I'm too far away
to help with anything but a few bucks toward rental of a tow dolly, but if
that will help, I'm in.

Subject: Selling the Sprite...
Hey everybody,
I just wanted to let everyone know that we're on the road again. I just
found out that I am getting transferred to Houston from Jackson. This means
Melia, the pets, the cars, and I have to pack up and get ready to go. The
start date isn't final, but it looks as if I will have to be there the first
or second week of March. We are hoping on putting the house on the market
next week, and I have already talked to a couple realtors in the Houston
area.
The big problem concerns my 1967 Sprite MK IV (which I have had since I was
15, over half my life). The movers will not transport 4 cars, and since the
Corvair runs, it is easier to deal with. If you know anybody who is
interested in a project car, let me know, the price will be right to the
right buyer who will not part it out. All information and history about the
car can be found at http://members.nbci.com/spridget email me for specifics.
The car is located in Madison, MS.
Other things to mention include 5 new tires on wires (of which the front two
have been converted) everything for brake rebuild is there puls new clutch
master cyclinder kit and hose. Extra bonnet and boot. Aftermarket hardtop.
Rollbar... Lots of little parts.
I really hate doing this as this car and I have lots of history, but I can't
figure anything else. It is VERY important to me this car goes to a good
home. Ideally to a teen who is going to work on this car with a parent (see
how p.c. I can be).
I will be keeping the kpatton@geocities.com email address, I do not think
the other will transfer, so please use that one for information.
Wish us luck and anyone who wants to buy a house in Madison, MS or wants to
sell a house CHEAP in the Houston area, give us a call.
Patton & Melia
