| I have an old Bluebird and caddy.
I can pull an engine out of a 3rd gen Camaro without taking off the nose. Only minor complaint I have is that the front wheels are fixed.
They were sold as rental units. I sometime see them on craigslist.

| I have a fold up one that I got at pep boys like 10 years ago. I love it and it works great for me. I ended up getting it on sale for 99 bucks and also had a $50 rebate. Best 50 bucks I ever spent! When I had my old Fleetwood, I went to a metal shop and had them cut me a longer boom so I could yank the motor without pulling the bumper off. | |

| Yes, and it also works on Subaru's (multiple times) [/quote] Yes. In the "Little Tykes" form, without the extended boom. [/quote] Another thread gone wrong.............. | |
