This is a stainless steel grille for a 1938 Chevy passenger car in excellent but not quite perfect condition. You can see from the pictures that the grill presents itself very nicely. Some of the wider bars have a few rock dings or minor bends on the, There is also a slight crack around one headlight cutout but does not show when installed. There are not many SS 38 grilles out there and even fewer in such nice condition. The grill includes a new center strip but no crank hole cover or emblem. I will ship this item at buyers expense for shipping and insurance.. I can supply more pictures of specific areas and feel free to contact me at chevyrod1938@aol.com. The price of the grille is $1600.00

Prices are negotiable on all lubesters

I have four available lubsters for sale. The two single lubesters are generic units that were tagged as Texaco with Texaco stickers, The first unit is done to show quality levels, the other has been cleaned and painted. The double lubsters are both original Texaco units with correct porcelain signs on both sides and the top fill covers have embossed Texaco logos. The unit with the green wheels is a show quality restoration and the other is more as it would have looked at the time. These units are located on Long Island and must be picked up, no shipping is available. Prices are as follows: Show single lubester- $900.00 Other single lubster- $400.00 Show double unit- $2100.00 Other double lubster- $1700.00 Contact me at chevyrod1938@aol.com or text at 631-988-4005

The funny thing is I have not mentioned what my price range is ! I don'r expect to find a car in the 20 grand price range. I am more than open to all cars and judge them and their price on an individual basis. But are correct, many of them have been abused over the years, I still cringe at what I did to my 65 back in 1968. Hopped up engine, hood scoop and a lace paint job and would pound that Hurst shifter thru the gears at the slightest provocation .

Pont35, just curious about your comment . Are you saying that there are no Chevelles out there meet that my criteria ?

I have to disagree with you, auctions can create a buying frenzy that many times drives a car well over the actual value of it. Thne the commentators come on and say "these are really hot cars now" and then things get crazy. I am almost 70 and remember when I could call about a car, speak to the owner, come to a reasonable value for the car and purchase it. I understand for the most part those days are gone, just another new reality I have to get used to along with bad knees and thinning hair.

I really didn't come on here to debate the state of the hobby. I have been involved with the vintage car hobby since my first model A in 1963 and have my opinions so I guess we will have to agree to disagree. The fact that all the prices you quote are from auctions makes my point that that dealers and auctions are now ruling the vintage car market and helping to drive up prices. Example, at one auction 2 guys want the same 65 Chevelle and drive the price up to $60,000, now the precedent has been set so all 65 chevelles that come up on auction must be worth that. I will refer you back to my 33 Ford story of a $35K car jumping up to a 65K car as it passed from dealer to dealer and each one thought there was still a little "meat on the bone". I am almost resigned to the fact that the car I buy will be from a dealer, it is just the direction the hobby has gone it.

There is something phoney about that car, the trim tage states 65-132 which is for a deluxe 300 chevelle with a V8. Super Sport V/8's should be 65-138. I am looking for a nice original car that has not been rusted away and patched back together. I will consider all right up to a body off restoration if the price is right. I am willing to go higher for a high option car or quality original. A few years ago I missed out on a 33 Ford highboy for $35,000. I watched that over the next two years go from dealer to dealer until the last guy was asking 60K for the car in the same condition as it was when offered for 35K.

I am more than willing to pay what a car is worth but a 4 speed 65 should not bring 45K or an L79 bring 65K. Problem is that dealers have taken over the collector market and tacked on their premiums and televised auctions have artificially inflated the prices of collector cars. Vintage cars have become a commodity for the rich to hide their money in rather than a hobby for the average enthusiast.

Thanks for the effort to help in my search for a 65 SS. I have been online for quite sometime looking for the right Chevelle. Any I have found have either been modified or grossly overpriced.
