 What's the least expensive, semi-reliable transportation for
 hauling Classic Computers?

 What I mean is, something that might be a tad flaky starting
 up, but once running, is unlikely to suffer mechanical 
 failure in places where your license plates might as well be
 from a foreign country?

 Clearly, my Audi 80 sedan is useless except for the occasional
 Apple //e or somesuch teeney weeney computers.

 I used to have a 64 Chevy pickup, should still have it.

 Is such transport possible for circa US$750.00?

  --	I would say a decent cheap transport would be any older 2 wheel
drive Chevy pick-up. Either the S-10 or full-size C-10 (hint: the C series
is 2WD The K's are 4WD). They're a dime a dozen, and well built too. You
should be able to find at least 12 of each in any decent size vehicle
bone-yard.
	Not to mention the fact that you can get cheap lumber to build a
rack body for the back if you need to...
