Well it took all F'N day but I got the possible 74 LE car home. The frozen steering problem was fixed
when I found Nine (9) sets of keys in a box full of
parts, yep it was the last key I tried that got the
ignition to turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Next major issue was all the wheels are frozen
solid, as in, won't turn. Had to drag the car 75+
feet to clear the house so we could get to the
trailer. The next trick was to get it on the trailer.
I nice neighbor lets use use his 1 1/2 ton
come-a-long to help pull it up on the trailer.

Next task after getting home is to get it off the
trailer. Stopped by Menards and bought 2 sets
of wheel dollies. These work get!!!! took us 2 1/2
hours to get the car on the trailer, 20 min to get
it off and in the garage.

So it's here. I am amazed that we didn't pull it in
half, but we did open up the door gaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here are a few pics.
