Deploy to WAR... 2 year mission... sell RX7

Hi everyone,

Name is Victor... some of you may know me.
I currently serve with the US Army.
I've been notified of an upcomming deployment to Afghanistan.
I will be deploying in Nov 2007.... my worry is not the deployment... but the lenght of the deployment: 18-24 months!

I own a 1984 Mazda RX7... which I have been meticulously caring for the past 9 years.
Because of this news, I've decided to sell my RX7. What about storage??? I currently live in NYC... In an COOP. My trouble with the storage is that, I do not have someone I can trust that will care for it. Again, that's nearly two years of deployment. This car is currenlty under storage in the Poconos, PA.


Anyone interested, submit your reasonable offer or to schedule an appointment to see and drive this car: Email victor.m.lopez@us.army.mil
I will contact you ASAP.

This car comes with an additional transmission, rebuilt 80' distributor and other mics parts.

****** Bad

It is a shame that you have to sell it. My cousin and my team captain were just deployed as well, g/l with the sell.

I live in Brooklyn and depending on the details I'd be willing to look after it for you while you're away. I just signed a 2 year lease, so it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere. I also am a rotary shop owner (out in texas) and port and build almost every weekend, so I'm pretty damn familiar with these silly cars we love

I deployed to Baghdad back in 2002 as the S4 for my Battalion, so I know where you're coming from......PM me if interested in taking me up on my offer.
