We recently bought a 2012 Mazda 3 SKYACTIV to tow behind our Barth. Then we found out that no one makes a baseplate for it. I called Blue Ox and they offered to put one on for free and also provide the tow bar for free. So we took the car to Pender, NE where Blue Ox is located. They did all the installation work to include the light kit for free. I did have to purchase the light kit but got 25% off.... for about $45. It took two days and they gave me a company car to use and an RV parking spot all for free including the gas. Also got a tour of the plant, which was impressive. They used my car to produce a template for the model. Towed our car back with no problems other than the fuel filter getting get clogged on the Barth, which made the trip a bit interesting. The people at Blue Ox were all extremely nice and I am very happy with the set up towing our car. They are a great company to do business with.

Hi Guys, just bought a 84 Barth with a new engine 454 put in in 1999, that has only 15,000 mile on it. got it for $4000. The engine compression,was 150 for 7 cyc an one at 130. Was told buy mac a nick that it should pick up. Have put a hunk of money in it but its a Barth. My wife an I went from Venice Florida to upstate NY and down to Ct over to Mass an back 3600 miles. In titisville the accelerator cable broke, guess who has them. Lowe's or any hardware store. don't go to an auto store they don't even know what a Barth is. Cost $10.45 incl tax. go figure.

Hey neighbor Joe! There's still some sites left for the Hillsborough Get-together. 42 would be a good one, but all the 51's and 75?. Only about an hour and a half from here. I live in South Venice, so give me a shout.
