  1. I meant that getting them to release from the charger or tools are more difficult than the name brand batteries. The ones I got don’t have as good release mechanisms.
  2. I have Ryobi tools and their batteries aren’t cheap either. I bought several replacement batteries off eBay and Amazon. They work fine but getting them to rel are from the charger or tools is much more difficult then OEM batteries. Other then that, I found them fine.
  3. I have a ‘37 LaSalle tranny that I keep mashing my toe on when walking through my shop. No sure how I ended up with it but let me know if you can use it. Offers accepted! Wayne yachtflame@yahoo.com
  4. I have a bunch of ‘32-32 Cadillac parts that I keep tripping over. If anyone is interested in any part shown, let me know or make me an offer on all. Wayne yachtflame@yahoo.com
  5. The owner is really looking to move it. Make him an offer and see what’s he says. The worst he could say is “He’ll No!” But I doubt it.
  6. Jose, I may have that distributor. I’ll try and take a look today. If I don’t get back to you, it means I got sidetracked. Seems I have the memory of a gnat these days! You can email me at yachtflame@yahoo.com
  7. There is a 1936 LaSalle hearse for sale in Pelham, MA. The previous owner did a bunch of modifications on it. Chopped the top, put “spider webs” over fender openings and other things to “improve it”. The current owner was going to restore it but has too many other projects and time is catching up on all of us! He paid $19,000 when he bought it years ago but is looking for offers. If interested, contact Denis Kitchen at denis@deniskitchen.com
  8. Seems you got all the snow. We gave up skiing on March 1st this year. I hate skiing on grass!
  9. I get about 8 mpg on my ‘30 LaSalle sedan. Had it up to 11 but knowledgeable member here told me I was leaning the engine out too much and was gonna regret it, so I’m back to 8.
  10. He had a ‘56 Jaguar XK140 MC drophead. I really would prefer the roadster.
  11. I got scared off by the group here and dropped that one. Today I was going through emails that my wife opened but forgot to tell me. The seller had sent me two emails to see if I was still interested and another two days later saying it was sold. If it was a scam, why email me unless he’s running a “long scam”. But it was a drop head instead of roadster anyway and I’d prefer a roadster. I have another in mind but the owner is old (older than me) and cantankerous. He won’t give a price but wants me to make an offer. I give him one and he says “we’re close” but won’t say how close! I could offer $15k or $50k and he’ll say “we’re getting close”. Guess I’ll make an offer at the auction his wife will arrange after he’s gone. The guy has 64 cars and wants to sell a bunch but every price on every car is “we’re close”.
  12. Hello, Wayne I Amherst MA here. I have a gear box that is about that period. I’m away from home till the middle of next week but if you’re still looking, email me at yachtflame@yahoo.com and I’ll send you photos. wayne Wlsworth
  13. A bear, I agree with your post. The owner is available to talk but through a satellite phone. I’ve done enough transatlantic deliveries that I understand the concept. Several passages have taken me that far north in order to avoid storms so I’m not overly concerned about that. I have friends on that coast so if the car can’t be seen or isn’t real, I’ll just go visiting.
  14. Well, I originally posted a week ago. Funny how much can change in a week!
